Owing to their great hardiness they can be planted just as soon as they can be put in the ground in the spring— they will endure a great deal of cold either before or after sprouting. By sowing as early as practicable, and making continued sowings at intervals of about two weeks, a suc- cession of j^ood peas can be had almost durin»- the entire summer. I^ate sowings, however, do not yield so well as the early, hot and dry weather being against their perfect development. Sow in drills two to three inches deep and from two to four feet apart, according to variety—narrow for the dwarf and wide for the tall-growing sorts. Dwarf sorts require exceedingly rich soil, while the very tall kinds must have only ordinary soil, otherwise they grow too much in stalk. Wrinkled varieties are always superior in quali- ty, more delicate in flavor, and remain longer in season. The wrinkled appearance, as in sugar corn, indicates a greater amount of saccharine matter. They are, however, not so hardy as the smooth seeded sorts. The* denotes wrinkled varieties. One quart -will flant ubout feet of drill. 2 to j> busliels for an acre. EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES.
