PEAS. 
After a thorough trial of the different varieties of early peas, I 
have not been able to find anything better for an early market 
crop than the Early Kent. The Kentish Invicta — a blue pea — 
ripens about the same time, and the quality is somewhat better- 
Both are good croppers. * a 
Peas mature the earliest on a light rich soil. Sow in the spring 
as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and sow three to four 
inches deep. They will stand a good deal of cold and some frosty 
and you can hardly get them in too early. But if the wrinkled 
varieties are sown quite early, it must be on a dry soil, as they 
are more liable to rot than the smooth peas. They are, however,, 
much the sweeteet and best flavored peas. To have a succession, 
make two or more sowings. Sow the early, smooth, hardy peas„ 
like the Early Kent and Kentish Invicta, as soon in the spring 
as the frost is fairly out of the ground, and two or three weeks 
later make a second sowing of the early kinds, and sow also- 
some of the wrinkled peas. This will give a succession from 
about the middle of June till late in July, when the early corn 
will be ready for use.
