Cuture: Peas mature earliest in light, rich soil. For 
general crop use a rich, deep loam. When grown in garden 
sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet 
apart. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early 
as the ground can be worked in February or March; plant 
for a succession every two weeks until June, then discon- 
tinue until the middle of August, when a good crop may 
be secured by sowing extra- early and early sorts for fall 
use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice dur- 
ing the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as 
the small, round sorts and if planted early should have a 
dry soil or they are liable to rot in the ground. They are, 
however, the sweetest and best-flavored varieties. The 
dwarf sorts are best suited for small gardens.

anxious to get into market with high-quality Peas
