CULTURE. — Peas of extra early, smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled 

 sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that 

 do not grow much over two feet high, the necessity of providing brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of varieties and plant- 

 ing frequently for succession will give us a full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible 

 exception of the hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed l'cas 

 into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be planted in double rows and brush 

 stuck in between for support. All Garden Peas, however, require good, strong and fertile land. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on 

 pool soil. The very dwarfest sorts of the American Wonder type will succeed only on the very richest garden land, and may be 

 planted in rows a foot apart.
