PEAS. ©rbfen. One quart ibitt }>/<iul one hundred feet of drill, one and one-halfbushels for one acre. For the first early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring the Improved East Hartford Extra Early. Select a rich, light, sandy soil, dry and well sheltered. For the general crop, a deep, rich loam is best, the soil cannot be too rich for the dwarf varieties. Avoid using coarse, rank manure, as it drives the plants to vines without pods. For market crop, sow in rows two to four feet apart according to the variety. In the kitchen garden, sow the tall varieties in double rows six to eight inches apart, and stick brush firmly between the rows when the vines are about six inches high. Sow the dwarf varieties in single rows one foot apart, cover two to four inches according to the character of the soil and the time of planting, the deepest on light soils and late planting. Deep planting prevents mildew and prolongs the bearing season, yet on cold, heavy soils the seed is liable to rot if planted deep. If drills are made five inches deep and the seed covered only one or two inches, the earth can be gradually drawn into the trench as the plants grow; in this way a good stand can be had at a good depth. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the hard, smooth sorts and cannot be planted as early : they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored. A succession may be had by sowing two weeks after the first early, the Earfy, Medium Early, Medium Late, a?id Late varieties at one time so that they will follow for use one after the Please note that these images are extracted from
