NORTHERN GROWN SEED PEAS 
• Till' lu'i.L'lit, maturity and productivenoss of garden Peas vary according to soil and climale, but they may 
■%e grown very satisfactorily anywliere. Tlie (‘xtra early varieties sliould l)e sown as early in tlio spring as tlie 
ground can be worked — in lids latitude tliey can frer|uently l)e planied in February. Continue sowing for 
a succe.ssion, every two weeks until June; tlien stop until tlie Iasi of .\ugust, wtien a good crop can be secured 
liy planting tlie. extra early and early sorts for fall use. In the lioiiie garden, sow' in double row's six to eight 
inclH's aiiart and two to four inclres deep, with Hie double rows two to tliri'e feet aiiart. Varieties growing two 
leet liigli or more should lie supported with brush. The early kinds do best in a light, warm soil. Later va- 
rieties reipiire a rich loam, inclining to clay, and should be planted deeper (ban the others. It is advisable 
to nrepare the ground in the fall, as fresh or coarse manure w'ill cause a heavy growth of vine and few peas, 
(live shallow culli\ation, keep free of weeds, and earth Iheni up twice during growth. Gather the pods as fast 
as I hey mature or they w'ill not continue to bear. The 
sorts, and when [ilanted early musi have a dry soil, or 
hest-llavored of all, and should be planted by every one.
