Peas 
Erbsen—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 remain much 
longer in season than the other kinds.
