Ameer Peas. 
CULTURE. —The Extra-Early or 
Smooth varieties are very hardy, and 
can be planted as early in the spring 
as the ground can be cultivated, 
while the Wrinkled varieties should 
not be planted until later. Peas 
thrive best when planted in light, 
rich, loamy soil. Plant in rows 
about 3 feet apart, and coyer 3 to 4 
inches. Keep well cultivated until 
6 inches high, then stake the tall- 
growing varieties with brush. Peas 
should be planted at intervals of two 
weeks to give a continuous crop. 
One pound will sow about 100 feet of 
row; about 100 pounts to the acre.
