Culture. — For early crop sow in Feb- 

 ruary or March, as soon as the ground can 

 be worked, and in succession as desired. 



R ich soil is the best. Make double rows, 

 eight inches apart, then allow a clear space 

 three feet or more between these and the 

 next rows. Drop peas along these rows 

 five inches apart, and between the rows 

 plant brush to which the vines will cling. 

 According to the growing tendencies of the 

 different varieties, the brush or any other 

 artificial support may be long or short. 



For market crop sow in single rows 

 three inches deep, and two or three feet 

 apart, according to variety.

 is required, as they seldom, under any cir- 

 cumstances' grow to exceed 20 inches in
