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 allowance of well-decayed manure, should be chosen for the 
principal crops. For early 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. 
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 tali varie¬ 
ties from 5 to 6 feet apart. Tall varieties require sticks. Two 
pounds will sow 100 feet of row.
