CULTURE — Peas of extra early smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled sorts follow 
a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over 
two feet high, the necessity of providing brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of varieties and planting frequently for succession will 
Fr. POIS S*^* * supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of the hottest part of the summer. 
Open furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like 
com or beans. The late tall sorts may be planted in double rows and brush stuck i n between for support. AH Garden Peas, however, require good, strong and fertile 
land. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on poor soil. The very dwarf sorts of the American Wonder type require the very richest garden land, and may be planted in 
rows a foot apart.
