Culture. — Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable matter. For first 

 early crop, sow in March or April, according as the ground can be worked, and at inter^-als of two weeks for 

 succession. For private gardens they are generally sown in single or double rows 2 inches deep and from 

 3 to 4 feet, according to the height of the variety and strength of the soil. Those growing over 2} 9 feet in 

 height should be supported with brush. After the end of May sowing should be discontinued until beginning 

 of August, when a profitable crop may be secured by planting the extra early varieties. 1 qt. will plant 

 100 feet of row, 2 bus. will plant 1 acre in rows 3 feet apart. 



Note. — Those marked with a star (*} are wrinkled marrows.
