 CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a 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, and 

 tall ones requiring 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 discontinue until the 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 

 sort, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they 

 ^A are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the 

 sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties 

 m are best suited for small gardens or for forcing; planted
