GARDEN PEAS Guisante, Sp. Erbsen, Ger. CULTURE.—Peas of extra early smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over two feet high, the necessity of pro- viding brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of varieties and planting frequently for succession will give a full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of the hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be planted in double rows and brush stuck in between for support. All Garden Peas, however, require good strong and fertile land. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on poor soil. The very dwarf sorts of the American Wonder type will succeed only on the very richest garden land and may bs planted in rows a foot apart. One pound will plant about fifty feet of drill. Material for inoculating Peas will be found offered on page 223. PEAS BY PARCEI.
