The Pea is one of our most important crops, and to be successfully grown must be 
liberally treated. A deep, rich soil, well pulverized, and incorporated with a fair al¬ 
lowance of well-decayed manure, should be chosen for the principal crops For earlv 
peas the ground does not require to be so rich. Sowing of the first early variety should 
be made in October, and the other varieties, for successive crops, planted every two 
weeks until April 1. J 
Peas are sown in single or double rows, from 2 to 6 feet apart, according to the variety 
or the height to which they attain. Have rows of the dwarf varieties 2 feet apart and 
those of the medium sorts from 3 to 4 feet apart, and the tall varieties from 5 to 6 feet 
apart. Tall varieties require sticks. Two pounds will sow 100 feet of row.
