CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in light. 

 rich soil. For general crop use a rich, deep 

 loam or one inclining to clay. When grown 

 in garden sow in double rows 6 to S inches 

 apart; the rows J ;,. 4 feet apart. Commence 

 sowing the e\tra-earl\ varieties as early as 

 the ground can be worked in February or 

 March; plant for a succession every two 

 weeks until June, then discontinue until the 

 middle of August, when a good crop maj be 

 secured bj sowing evt r.i-c.irk and early sorts 

 for fall use. I ! ej should be kept clean and 

 earthed up twice during the growth. The 

 wrinkle I varieties are not as hardv 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, however, the sweetest 

 and best-flavored varieties. The dwarf 

 ies arc best suited for small gardens.
