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 superior 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.
