Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable mat- ter. The ground should be manured, if possible, the previous autumn; well de- composed manure is most suitable, and if applied at the time of planting, it should be thoroughly mixed with the soil, especially in the bottom of the drill. Plant the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, the others in suc- cession from April to June. For private use they are generally sown in double or single rows, in drills about 2 feet apart and 3 inches deep, for the dwarf vari- eties, and 3 to 4 feet apart and 4 inches deep, for the taller varieties.
