GARDEN PEAS _ The Cultivation of the Garden Pea .—The smooth ro.md-seeded extra early varieties of Peas are generally 
r the very first to be sown in spring, and should be sown as soon as the ground is fit to be worked. The 
wrinkled sorts are not so hardy, and should not be planted before the ground has wanned up to a c<“itain degree. The tall varieties require 
brush or other suitable support, but by selecting sorts that do not grow over 2 ft. the necessity of providing brush may be eliminated. A careful 
selection of varieties and a frequent planting for succession will insure a continuous crop of peas from June urn. 1 the early frosts. The seed 
should be sown in rows 3 ft. apart and 3 in. deep, and should be planted at the rate of 1 qt. of the smoother sorts to ItK) ft. of drill and I qi. of 
the wrinkled varieties to 89 running feet. Cultivate similarly to corn or beans. The taller sorts may be planted in double drills anJ bru*di 
placed between fora support. For best results all garden peas require good, fertile soil and abundant moisture. Much success has been 
attained by the use of only the very earliest dwarf peas by making plantings ten days apart from early spring until the last of July.
