CARTERS’ HAND-PICKED PEAS—Earliest Varieties. 
FIRST EARLY PEAS. 
The Cultivation of Peas _Early round Peas may be sown out of doors any time from November onwards, but the Spring is generally the season when the largest 
quantities of both Early and Main Crop Marrow Peas are put in, extending to June for the latest crops. They thrive best in ground that has been deeply 
trenched and manured for a previous crop; the seeds should be planted from li to 3 inches deep, in either single or double rows, and the taller varieties must 
be staked when they are from 4 to 6 inches high ; the tallest kinds should not be less than 6 feet apart in rows, and the dwarfest varieties half this distance. Peas 
will stand a good deal of drought if the roots find their way into some nice rich soil. (For full particulars see Carters’ Practical Gardener, price is .,
