For first crop, round-seeded Peas should be sown in the 
open ground as soon as it is fit to be worked; wrinkled vari¬ 
eties should be planted 2 to 3 weeks later. Frequent planting 
for succession, and a careful selection of varieties, will give 
an almost continuous crop of Peas from June until frost. Sow 
Peas in rows 3 feet apart and 1 to 2 inches deep. Rotted horse 
manure and wood ashes should be freely used in the prepara¬ 
tion of soil for Pea growing. Pkt. 5c; 1 lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 95c;
