Peas 
Erhsen — Ginsante—Pisrelli 
Culture. Peas, for an early crop, should be sown 
as soon as the ground is in working condition. 
Soil should be light and dry. For general crops 
the ground should be well manured the previous 
year. They are usually planted in double rows 
three or four inches apart, and covered to the 
depth of two and one-half to three inches. All 
wrinkled peas are superior and more delicate in 
flavor than the smooth seeded varieties; like sugar 
corn, the saccharine matter which they contain 
causes them to shrivel when dried, and they will re¬ 
main much longer in season than the other kinds.
