Peas. 
Erbsen — Ginsante—Pisrelli 
Culture. Peas, for an early crop, should be sown 
as soon as the ground is in working condition. Soil 
should be light and dry. For general crops the 
ground should be well manured the previous year. 
They are usually planted in double rows three or four 
inches apart, and covered to the depth of two and 
one-half to three inches. All wrinkled peas are supe¬ 
rior and more delicate in flavor than the smooth 
seeded varieties; like sugar corn, the saccharine 
matter which they contain causes them to shrivel 
when dried, and they will remain much longer in 
season than the other kinds.
