Culture. — Peas mature earlier in light, rich soil. For general 
crop, a rich, deep loam or inclining to clay is best. Sow in double 
rows 6 or 8 inches apart, in rows 2 or 4 feet apart; the tall ones 
require brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as 
the ground can be worked in March or April, continuing for a suc- 
cession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the mid- 
dle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra- 
early and large 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 sorts, and if planted early they 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 or for forcing; plant in rows i 
foot deep.
