Erbsen, Ger. Pois, Fr. Guisante, Sp. 

 Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil ; for a general crop, a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay, is the best. 

 When grown for a market crop sow in single rows, 1 inch apart and 2 to 3 inches deep, the rows from 2 to 4 feet 

 apart, according to the variety. When grown in gardens sow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart; the tall ones re- 

 quiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or 

 March, continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of August, when 

 a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early aud early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean, and 

 •earthed up twice during growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small hard sorts, and if planted 

 early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best 

 flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited from their dwarf habit for small gardens or for forcing, and 

 .can be planted in rows 1 foot apart.
