English Pea.

This vegetable is very generally

it requires very little skill it is a ia
vorite with many who are not able
to raise other vegetables. The land
should be we'll prepared though not
deeply, about the last of October or
in November; the fertilizer scattered
along the row and mixed with the
soil. This crop will stand a light
frost and grow in quite cold weather.
For shipping purposes the dwarf
varieties should be chosen. The Nc
Neal pea has been very largely grown
in Columbia county. The American
Wonder and Blue Beauty do exceed

rieties offered for sale often leads to
confusion, but the three named above
may. be regarded as trustworthy.
A light warm soil is very desirable
for winter crops. If one uses a seed
drill a row should be made up of
three or four drills about one inch
apart. This will give them a chance
to hold to- one another and thus form
supports. The ordinary practice is to
make row about six inches wide by
scattering the seed along furrow
and covering about an inch deep.
