History, Use, Propagation, Cultitre, 
crops is thus obtained from the end of May to the beginning of November. By raising in hotbeds and trans- 
planting, the first crop may be gathered in the beginning of May ; and by raising and maturing in pits, pease 
may be gathered in April. The pea, however, does not force well, and requires extraordinary attention to 
giving air, otherwise the blossoms will not set. The culture of the pea is known to every countryman. 
The grey pea, cultivated in agriculture, is by some considered as a species, though it is obviously a mere 
variety, not further removed from the frame pea than is the blue Prussian, or the crown pea. A dry soil 
and season is essential for a good crop, unless the plants can be supported by sticks like the garden crops. 
The seed is chiefly used for feeding pigs, and splitting for soup. In boiling split pease, some samples, without 
reference to variety, fall or moulder down freely into pulp, while others continue to maintain their form. 
The former are called boilers. This property of boiling depends on the soil ; stiff land, or sandy land that 
has been limed or marled, uniformly produces pease that will not melt in boiling, no matter what the variety 
may be. Pease straw cut green and dried, is reckoned as nourishing as hay, and is considered as excellent for 
sheep. The produce of pease in flour is as three to two of the bulk in grain, and husked and split for soups 
as four to two. A thousand parts of pea flour afforded Sir H. Davy 574 parts of nutritive or soluble matter ; 
viz. 501 of mucilage, or vegetable animal matter, 22 of sugar, 35 of gluten, and 16 of extract, or matter 
rendered insoluble during the operation. 
P. maritimum has seeds of a bitterish disagreeable taste, but are reported nevertheless to have been 
eaten in times of scarcity. {Turner's Herbal.)

V. sylvatica and cracca, where they occur in meadows, are considered valuable herbage plants. They yield 
great bulk of fodder, which is allowed to be very nutritive. Some have proposed to cultivate them alone, but 
Curtis observes, they would probably in that case choke themselves for want of support. 
V. sativa, the winter and summer tare, fetch or vetch, is a valuable agricultural plant. Some consider the 
winter variety as a distinct species ; but Professor Martyn proved, by cultivating both, that they were not
