One quart icill j)lant about 100 feet of drill; 11-2 bushels for 1 acre. 
Peas luxuriate in a 
free, light, rather rich

vegetable matter. The 
ground should be man¬ 
ured, if possible, the 
previous autumn; well 
decomposed manure is 
tho most suitable, and 
if applied at the time 
of planting, it should 
be thoroughly mixed 
with tho soil, especi¬ 
ally in the bottom of 
the drill. Plant the 
early varieties as soon 
as the ground can be 
worked, tho others in 
succession from April 
to June. For private

to 4 feet apart and 4 
inches deep, for the
