PEAS (PISUM SATIVUM). 
CULTURE.-? 'ranching or deep digging is highly necessary for Peas, in fact all vegetable culture ; 
even this is nearly always done as unwisely as can be. Take all the top good soil off and throw in 
on the second trench , keeping the. top on the top, and then thoroughly breed: up the lower spit , which 
is generally very inferior, another foot ; this done , the ground is then of double value — in fact, every 
inch of soil that requires manure should be done thus, and then our crops would be forever considerably 
more productive. The ground should be well pulverised, and enriched with good manure, burnt rubbish, 
and lime. The earliest varieties may be sown about the second or third week in November, or first 
week in December, another sowing in January, and continuous sowings in the order they stand , every 
three weeks, up to the end of July. Sow in rows four to seven feet apart, according to height; and , 
ivhen about Jive or six inches above ground, thin out if required, and properly stick. We find boards 
edgeways along the. rows, on the windward side, capital protection. In a dry summer like last, when the 
Pea season was brought to a premature close, the advantages th it may be derived from planting them in 
trenches were more apparent than usual. On soils of a light and burning nature, this is the only 
way whereby good crops of this vegetable maybe ensured. If the trenches are taken out in the winter 
time, and the soil laid up on each side oj' them, it will sweeten, and when the time comes j'or sowing, be in 
a much better condition than digging can bring it to. If the refuse from the rubbish heap, mixed with its 
own bulk of manure, be laid in the bottom of the trenches, the roots will find their way into it, greatly to 
their benefit, when dry exhaustive weather comes. The difference in the yield of Peas grown in this way 
is great compared to the ordinary method.
