CULTURE. Peas ma- 

 ture earliest in light, 

 rich soil. For general 

 crop use a rich, deep 

 loam or inclining to clay 

 is best. When grown in 

 garden sow in double 

 rows 6 to 8 inches apart ; 

 the rows 2 to 4 feet 

 apart. Commence sow- 

 ing the extra early va- 

 rieties as early as the 

 ground can be worked 

 in February or March ; 

 transplant for a succes- 

 sion every two weeks 

 until June, then discon- 

 tinue until the middle 

 of August, when a good 

 crop may be secured by 

 sowing 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 sort, and if 

 planted early should have 

 a dry soil or they are 

 liable to rot in the 

 ground. They are. how- 

 ever, the sweetest and 

 best flavored varieties. 

 The dwarf varieties are 

 best suited for small 

 gardens.
