CULTUKE — The Pea is very hardy, and will endure a great 
amount of cold, either in or above the ground; it is well to 
sow some of the earliest varieties as soon as possible — the 
sooner the better — in warm, light soil, prepared the previous 
autumn. The general crop may be sown about two weeks 
later, and on somewhat heavier soil. Avoid fresh m<inure and 
very rich soil, as they cause the vines to grow too rank. Sow 
Peas In drills abont four Inches deep. The drills must not be 
hearer than two feet, except for the lowest sorts. Those grow- 
ing three feet high or more should not be nearer than three 
or four feet, and .should have brush for their support.

Surprise or Eclipse, the new wrinkled Peas,'and*?s to- 
day very popular with sardeners. It has made an enviable 
reputation since it has been on the market. It is about or quite 
as early as the smooth varieties, and far superior to them In 
both quality and yield. It ranks with the very earliest of the 
wrinkled sorts. Pods are numerous. The vine grows twenty to 
twent5"-four inches high, requiring no sticks. The Surprise Pea 
has attracted universal attention, and has everywhere made a 
splendid record for both quality and quantity. Its sweetness 
is noteworthy, and it bears with a profusion that is truly re- 
markable. Its e.vtreme earlluess makes it one of the most 
profltnhle sorts for the gardeners to grow. Pkt. 5c, pt. 20c, qt.
