Cultivation of the Garden Pea. — The smooth, round-seeded extra early varieties of peas are generally the very first 
to be sown in spring, and should be sown as soon as the ground is fit to be worked. The wrinkled sorts are not so hardy, 
and should not be planted before the ground has wanned up to a certain degree. The tall varieties require brush, or other 
suitable support, but by selecting sorts that do not grow over 2 feet the necessity of providing brush may be eliminated. 
A careful selection of varieties and a frequent planting for succession will insure a continuous crop of peas from June until 
the early frosts. The seed should be sown in rows 3 feet apart and 3 inches deep, and should be planted at the rate of one 
quart of the smoother sorts to 100 feet of drill and one quart of the wrinkled varieties to 80 running feet. Cultivate similarly 
to corn or beans. The taller sorts may be planted in double drills and brush placed between for a support. For best results 
all garden peas require good, fertile soil and moisture. Great success has been attained by the use of only the very earliest 
dwarf peas, making plantings ten days apart from early spring until the last of July.

Sow in the hotbed or greenhouse in March or April and transplant to the open ground when all danger of frost is over. 
Plant in rows 3 feet apart and 18 inches between the plants; cover the seed when sowing with about ]/i inch of soil. 
PUMPKIN 
Cultivation of Pumpkins. — After all danger of severe frosts has passed the seed may be sown in hills 8 feet apart each 
way, or in the corn field, using 3 or 4 seed with that of the corn in every fourth or fifth hill. Do not plant different varieties 
of Pumpkin together, as they are very apt to become mixed, although they do not easily hybridize with squash or other 
vines! One ounce will plant twenty-five hills, 3 pounds will plant an acre. 
Sweet or Sugar. — An unsurpassed variety for making pies. The pumpkins are small, but they are 
very sweet, fine grained, and of the best quality. The skin is a deep orange in colour.
