PEAS 
CULTURE. Peas ma¬ 
ture earliest in a light, rich 
soil; for general crop a 
moderately heavy soil ,is 
best. Commence sowing ear¬ 
ly varieties as soon as 
ground can be worked, con¬ 
tinue for a succession every 
2 weeks until June. Sow 
the early, second early and 
late varieties at the same 
time for a succession. Sow 
seed 2, 3 or 4 inches deep, 
according to early, medium 
or late season, an inch 
apart; dwarf kinds in rows 
2 to 2 1 X> feet apart, 3 to 4 
feet for tall kinds. One 
pound for 100 feet of drill ; 
110 to 175 pounds for an 
acre. The wrinkled varie¬ 
ties are more suscepible to 
cold, wet weather than the 
small, round, hard sorts, 
hence should not be planted 
very early except in warm, 
dry locations. Brush can be 
used to advantage on all 
varieties but the various 
dwarf growing sorts take 
care of themselves very well 
without.

These earliest varieties may be sown as 
soon as ground can be w r orked, usually early 
in March.
