Garden Peas. 
Cultivation. — Peas do well in any good garden soil, but thrive best in ground deeply trenched and manured for a previous 
crop. Sow about an inch and a-half deep in double rows 6 or 8 inches apart, with bush stuck in between the rows for support. It 
is also a good plan to sow in trenches wide apart, with some other crop between ; by this means both sides of the rows get the full 
advantage of light and air, while the trenches are convenient for watering in dry seasons.^ For an early crop a sowing of the 
Earliest varieties may be made in January — they are hardy, and frost will not harm them. Sowings of Second Early varieties may 
be made in February, and the main crops in succession from March to the end of May. Peas should be gathered as fast as they 
become fit for use.
