ground suits the Pea best, especially for early crop, but fair 
results can be obtained with proper cultivation on almost 
any kind of soil. The dwarf sorts can be grown in single rows like bush beans, 
but the taller sorts require staking, and should be sown in double rows (8 inches 
between), from 4to6 feetapart, and Spinage can be grown between. Cover not 
Jess than 4 inches so as to better withstand the drought, and plants should be 
thinned to say 1 inch. Sow three sorts, early, medium, and late, at the .same time 
go as to secure a succession in crop, and this can also be obtained by sowing 
any of the early varieties every ten days, and for small gardens the dwarf sorts 
are preferable.
