Peas 
Erbsen—Ginsante—Pisrelli 
Culture. Peas, for 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 con- 
tain causes them to shrivel when dried, and they will 
remain much longer in season than the other kind.
