For general crop, a deep loam or soil strongly inclining to clay is best. When grown in small quantities for private use, they are generally sown in double rows, six or eight inches apart, and the tall varie- ties staked up by brush. For early crop sow in March or April, according to latitude, as soon as the ground can be worked, and make repeated sowings every two weeks for succession. After the first of June, sowing should be dis- continued until the middle of August. PEAS—EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. Those marked with a * are wrinkled varieties. Alaska.
