CULTURE — Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay is the best. When grown iu 

 garden sow in doubl* rows 6 to S inches apart ; the rows J to 4 feet apart, and tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early 

 vart»tjes as early as the ground can be wurked in February or March ; continue for a succession every two weeks nutil June, then discontinuing 

 until th» middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean 

 and earthed up twice during the growth- The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as 'the small round sorls, and if planted earlv should have a 

 dry soil, or they are h.ble to rot in the ground ; they are. however, the sweetest ami best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited 

 tar small gardens or for forcing : planted in rows one fcot apart.
