CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, 
rich soil; for general crop a moderately heavy soil 
is best. Commence sowing early varieties as soon 
as ground can be worked, continue for a succession 
every two weeks until June. Sow the early, second 
early and late varieties at the same time for a suc¬ 
cession. Sow seed 2, 3 or 4 inches deep, according 
to early, medium or late season, an inch apart; 
dwarf kinds in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, 3 to 4 feet 
for tall kinds. One pound for 100 feet of drill; 
110 to 175 pounds for an acre. The wrinkled va¬ 
rieties are more susceptible to cold, wet weather 
than the small, round, hard sorts, hence should not 
be planted very early except in warm, dry loca¬ 
tions. Brush can be used to advantage on all va¬ 
rieties but the various dwarf growing sorts take 
care of themselves very well without. The crop 
should be gathered as fast as it is fit for use. If 
even a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new 
pods cease to grow, but those partly advanced will 
stop growing.

crowded in medium sized pods, are of the highest 
quality, possessing the rich flavor of the Cham¬ 
pion of England. The growth is very dwarf, re¬ 
quiring no support.
