Catalogue of True Blue Vegetable Seeds,- GARDEN PEAS 35. Garden Peas German—Erbsen. French—Puis. Spanish—Ghicharos o Ginaantes. Peas mature early, when in a light, rich soil. For the gen'Tal crop, a rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay, would be best. Peas thrive better if the ground has been manured for a previous crop, but if the ground is poor and requires enriching, use well-rotted manure ; and for the dwarf varieties you can hardly make the soil too rich. When grown as a mar- ket crop peas are seldom staked or brushed, but are sown in single rows 3 to 4 inches deep, the depth depending on tlie time of sowing, nature of soil, as well as the variety. Wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the smooth .sorts, and if planted early should have dry, warm soil, and not planted deep, or they are liable to rot in the ground; these wrinkled varieties are, however, the sweetest and best flavored. Rows for plant- ing should be from '2>.f to Sy^ feet apart, according to the kind, soil and manner of culture desired.' When grovv-i in tiie kitchen-garden it is best to sow the seeil in double rows, t> to 8 inches apart, the tall sorts req'uiring brush to run upon, which is stuck in between the rows. Commence .sowing early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring, and continue, for a succession, every two weeks u'p to end of June, discontinuing until the middle of July, when a good crop can sometimes be secured by sowing an extra-early sort. It is best to make late plantings on sandy soil as there is some danger from mildew at this season when planted on heavy land. ' Cultivatj thoroughly, earthing-up at least twice dtiring growth. One quart sows 100 feet of row, one and one-half tushels for an acre. PACKETS OF PEAS OR BEANS ARE HEAVY and PACKETS put up
