Commence planting the early kinds as early in the spring as the 

 ground can be worked. All the other sorts will answer for successive 

 crops. To have Peas during the summer and autumn plant in June, 

 July and August, in single or double rows, from two to four feet apart, 

 according to height. Dreer's Extra Early is one of the best for early as 

 well as late planting, and is extensively used by our market gardeners 

 for a late fall crop ; for which purpose plant in July and August.

The stalks of this plant are used for pies and tarts. It is fit for use 

 before green fruit appears, and is an excellent substitute. Sow in April ; 

 transplant the ensuing autumn or spring to any desired situation. To 

 grow the stalks to perfection, the ground must be dug and heavilv 

 manured, at least two feet deep. Set out the roots four feet apart each 

 way. As no dependence can be placed upon growing the varieties truly 

 from seed, it is recommended to those who desire a choice article to 

 procure the roots. See Esculent Plants, page 43.
