KENDALL AND WHITNEY'S 
at their own table, the first dish of the season. The varieties are 
very numerous, but we have selected the best sorts, which, if sown 
at proper intervals, will give a succession throughout the season. 
All Wrinkled Peas are superior to, and more delicate in flavor, 
than those that present a full and perfect form ; and remain much 
longer in season, than other hinds. 
Peas, for an early crop, should be sown as soon as the ground is in 
working condition. The soil for their reception should be light, dry, 
and well sheltered. Mild manure, such as leaf mould, has a beneficial 
effect; but for many of the varieties, the soil cannot be too rich. 
For general crops, the ground should be well manured the previous 
year, which causes them to yield more abundantly. They are usually 
planted in double rows, three or four feet apart and covered to the 
depth of two and a half or three inches. This is the average depth, 
though some contend that greater depths prevents the premature 
decay of the vines. The height of the Pea depends much upon the 
moisture and richness of the ground. 
There are a great many fancy varieties which are of delicious flavor, 
but in general, they are unworthy the attention of the common culti- 
vator, whose object is to obtain a certain crop. 
Peas ordered by mail are subject to an extra charge 
of thirty cents per quart for postage.
