CULTURE.âPecis mature earliesL in ?. light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay is best. Sow in â double rows 6 ti) 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 â discontinuing until the middle of August, 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. Tlie wrinkled are not as hardy as the small round :sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or tliey are liable 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. Alaska.
