PEAS. 



CULTURE. — ^The ground should be manured the previous year; if it is heavily 

 manured for the crop it causes them to grow more to vine and produces fewer pods. 

 For the first planting (which should be as early in the season as the ground can be 

 worked) select a light, dry soil. The drills should be from two to three feet apart, and 

 the seed planted two inches deep; when a few inches high, draw earth to them, and 

 reoeat it again when more advanced. When the tendrils appear, provide them with 

 suitable stakes or branches, which should be of fan form, and placed in the ground in a 

 slanting direction; on the other side of the row; reverse the position of the stakes, which 

 affords the vines more protection and security. Peas for a general crop should always be 

 planted much deeper than for the early one; they will not only produce larger crops, but 

 will remain in bearing condition longer; the roots penetrating to a greater depth of soil, 

 will always make a stronger growth, and are not so liable to be injured by dry weather. 

 Matures in 50 to 75 days. One quart to 160 feet of drill: l^/^ bushels to the acre. Use 

 Mulford Culture for Inoculation of soil.
