CULTURE.—For Peas, light dry soil is best. Sow as early as ground can be worked, 
and again every ten days for succession. Peas may be sown as late as August 15th. Me¬ 
dium and late Peas must be planted early. Early Peas may be planted early or late, and 
the extra early very late. Sow in single or double row^s from 4 to 6 feet apart, according 
to variety, and about an inch apart in the row and 4 in. deep. Hoe often, keep ground 
clean and fine. Most Dwarf Peas will bear better if bushed enough to keep them from the 
ground. If the pea louse attacks the vines, spray every day with clear water of the same 
temperature as the atmosphere, using force.
