peas. 
Culture.— A week may be gained in earliness by sowing a quan- 
■dty in moist sand placed in a box in the cellar, and planting outside 
when well sprotited. Light dry soil, not over rich, suits the Pea. 
Sow as early as the ground can be worked, and again every two 
weeks for succession up to the first of June, after which there is 
danger from mildew. Sow in single or double rows from four to six 
feet apart, according to the different heights, about an inch apart in 
the row and four inches deep. In summer sow six or eight inches 
deep. In this climate the O'Rourke Peas if planted from the 15th of 
July to the ist of August will produce a fair crop for fall picking, 
when Peas will be most acceptable. Hoe often. The fall sorts can 
be made to bear more freely by pinching in. The dwarf varieties 
may be grown in beds like bush beans, with rows about the same 
distance apart.
