Used for garnishing and seasoning soups and salads. Suc- 
ceeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow quite early in the spring, 
as the seed germinates quite slowly. Soak the seed in warm, 
water twenty-four hours before sowing. Thin the plants to six 
inches or transplant in rows. It may be sown in the fall, as it 
will live through the winter by protecting with leaves or other 
coveiing.

PEAS> 
After a thorough trial of the different varieties of early peas, 
I have not been able to find anything better for an early 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. . 
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 
frost, 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 sweetest 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 pea?. This will give a succession 
from about the middle of June till late in July, when the early 
cjrn will be ready for use.
