CULTURE. Peas mature 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 sowing 
the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be 
worked in February or March; transplant for a succession 
every two weeks until June, then discontinue 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, however, the sweetest and 
best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited 
for small gardens.
