438 On Transplanting Peas for Early Crops. 



Mr. Knight's object in surrounding his transplanted Peas 

 with a poor and light soil, is to check the luxuriance of growth, 

 and consequently to induce early maturity. The quantity of 

 produce would certainly be increased by using a rich soil, as 

 proposed by Mr. Judd, but this increase would be at the 

 expense of the earliness of the crop, which is the main point 

 to be gained by the practice recommended.
