PEAS 
One quart will plant 100 feet of arill. 
Culture. Peas mature earliest in a 
light, rich soil. For general crop use a 
rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay is 
best. When grown in garden, sow in 
double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the 
rows 2 to 4 feet apart, and tall ones re- 
quiring brush. Commence sowing the 
extra early varieties as early as the 
ground can be worked in I^ebruary or 
March: continue for a succession every 
two weeks until June, then discontinue 
unlil the middle of -Vugust, when a good 
crop may be secured by sowing the ex- 
tra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be 
kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The 
wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round 
sort, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they 
are liable to rot in the ground: they are, however, the 
sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varie- 
ties are best suited for small gardens.
