PEAS. 
German, Erbse. — French, Pots. — Spanish, CJticaros. 
Peas come earliest to maturity in light, rich soils, but for a general crop a deep loam or moderately heavy 
soil is better. For early crops decomposed leaves or leaf mould should be used ; if the soil is very poor stronger 
manure may be applied. The first sowing will be earlier if covered only one inch deep ; those following should 
be covered two to six inches deep, the deep planting preventing mildew and prolonging the season Fresh 
manure, and wet, mucky soil should be avoided, as they cause the vines to grow too rank and tall. All wrinkled 
Peas are superior to, more delicate in flavor, and remain longer in season than the smooth sorts, but should not 
be sown until the ground becomes warm, for, as in sugar-corn, the wrinkled appearance indicates the greatei 
amount of saccharine matter. _ ^
