The Pea is one of our most important crops, and to be successfully grown must be liberally treated. A deep, rich soil, well pulverized, and incorporated with a fair allowance of well decayed manure, should be chosen for the principal crops. For early Peas the ground does not require to be so rich. Sowing of the first early variety should be made in October, and the other varieties for successive crops, plant every two weeks until the first of April. Peas are sown in single or double rows, from two to six feet apart, according to the variety or the height to which they attain. Have the rows of the dwarf varieties two feet apart, and those of the medium sorts from three to four feet, and the tall varieties from five to six feet apart. When raised for market, Peas are not staked but sown in single rows: when intended for private use, they should be sown in double rows about nine inches apart, and covered 3§H| two inches deep. Staking up should be commenced when they are three inches high. The dwarf varieties may be grown without sticks. Two pounds will sow ioo feet of row.
