CULTURE. — Trenching or deep digging is highly necessary for Peas, in 
fact, all vegetable culture. Take ail the toj> good soil off and throw in on the 
second trench, keeping the top on the top, and then thoroughly break up the lower 
spit, which is generally very interior, another foot (adding plenty of manure); 
this done, the ground is then of double value— in fact, every incli of' soil should be 
done thus, and then onr crops would be considerably more productive. The ground 
should he well pulverised and enriched with good manure, burnt rubbish, and lime. 
The earliest varieties may be .‘•own about the second or third week in November, or first 
tveek 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, which varies wonderfully) : w'hen about five 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 1893, when the Pea season was brougltt to a premature close, the advantages 
that may be derived from planting them in trenches anri well watere.l before sowdug 
the Peas were more apparent than nsnal. On soils of a light and burning nature, 
this is the only way whereby good crops of this vegetable may be ensured. If the 
trenches are taken out in the wintertime, and the soil laid up on each side of them, 
it will sw'eeten, and w'hen the time comes for sowing, be in a mucli better con-iition 
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 tlie trenches, the roots will find their 
way into it, greatly to their benefit, w'hen dry exhaustive weather comes. In a dry 
season mulching sliould be liberally done. The difference in the yield of peas grown 
in this way is great compared to the ordinary method. 
By sowing seeds of some of the early kinds in July, n late picking of Peas mav 
be had until the frost sets in. 
The general height is hem given of the various kinds of Peas, but, of coiirsB, 
the season and richness of the soil will cause a difference.
