ELLIOTTS EARLIEST MARKET. 
Peas luxuriate in a 
free, light, rather rich 
soil, abounding with 
vegetable matter. The 
ground should be man¬ 
ured, if possible, the 
previous autumn; well 
decomposed manure is 
the most suitable, and 
if applied at the time 
of planting, it should 
be thoroughly mixed 
with the soil, especi¬ 
ally in the bottom of 
the drill. Plant the 
early varieties as soon 
as the ground can be 
worked, the others in 
succession from April 
to June. For private 
use they are generally 
sown in double or 
single rows, in drills 
about 2 feet apart and 
3 inches deep, for the 
dwarf varieties, and 3 
to 4 feet apart and 4 
inches deep, for the 
taller varieties. Those 
growing over 2% feet 
in height should be 
bushed.

ers will be supplied by
