GARDEN PEAS. Pois, Fr. Chicharos o Ginsaiites, Sp. One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill. One and a half bushels for one acre. CULTURE.âPeas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay, is best. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March ; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of Augusf, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sons, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liab'.e to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing, planted in rows 1 foot apart. Packets of all varieties of Peas at 10 cts. each, postpaid, (jradus, or Prosperity. (See cut.) No new variety of Peas has ever met with the favor and sale as the "Gradus" has since its introductir n in America several years ago. It combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also very productive. It is very hardy, and can be planted fully as early as the smooth Peas ; grows vigorous and healthy ; vines 3 feet in height, and is very prolific, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone. The color of the shelled Peas is a beautiful light green, which color they retain after being cooked ; the c uality and flavor are delicious, and the Peas re- main tender and sweet for a long time
