PEAS 
HOW TO GROW —For a continuous supply of this favourite vegetable, sow every 
two or three weeks during the winter, spring and early summer months. They 
should be sown two wide in rows, as nearly in the direction of north and south 
as possible, so that both sides may get the sun, and the rows should be as far 
apart as the height the peas grow, the taller sorts requiring more space. They 
should be earthed up and staked when three inches high. The dwarfer sorts, 
though sometimes grown without, will be benefited by a few sticks to keep them 
off the ground. An average packet will sow a row of thirty to forty feet.

3 New Varieties 
CULTIVATION —Sow in rows 2ft. to 3ft. apart, putting the 
seed in double lines about *>ne inch apart, also one inch apart 
in the lines. This allows the plant to “stool out” and give a 
heavier crop. Make a sowing of half of each of the three 
varieties in the collection. This will give a succession lor over 
a month. A month or six weeks after first sowing, put In 
the balance of the seed, which will start to bear as the first 
sowing finishes.
