over In Jersey many gardeners have
their peas in, but they run a risk II Is
| best TO play safe" even II a bit late. The
set-in of cold snaps and the unusually
late frosts, complicated with the rather
constant spring rains, rot soft seeds
ike the pea and create a situation that
leaves many suburban gardens with moth
ing to show for the first planting Of
smooth peas and only a few straggly vines
for the second, which are usually Of the
wrinked kinds
Peas are n crop that stand tolerably
cool weather, but they are not thrifty un-
der the severe cold and they do not like
sudden alterations OF heat and cold. The
packets state that peas should be planted
from mid-April on. but this Is not always
fair rule to follow, particularly in such
late" springs as we have been having of
recent years.
No vegetable tastes any better than the
green pea direct from the plot to the pot
without Intermediary stating and middle
mems profits. In ordinary years the home
garden should be giving the first mess"
or so in this latitude by the first of June.
Put in several paintings. For this lati-
tude, wrlnkled peas. much the most de-
licious in flavor, can be put i'm TO advan-
tage at intervals of five or six days from
May 1 till June 10. II is better to make
short rows of such close successional
When favorable spring weather makes
paintings take hold. the peas may be
planted conventionally in drills, as the
ground moisture Is sufficient to support
them, but for late paintings some scheme
as that proposed later i'm this article Is
necessary to conserve every drop of mois-
ture. Even though the days are hot, II
directions are followed good deep root
growth will he secured and a bounteous
crop gathered
Also the same directions should be fol-
lowed in the late summer, say about Au-
gust 20, when two or three weekly plant
ings of the smooth varieties may be made
for n late crop
The chief trouble with the ordinary
planting of peas Is that ii is too shallow.
with rows too close together Such super
fcial sowing means a reaping of disap-
pointment. Some directions state that
covering of drills an inch or two inches
Is sufficient. Try another way this time.
Deeper planting will be requisite to meet
the advancing climate changes toward the
summer. as peas are essentially cool
weather product. If the weather changes
only gradually for the next few weeks and
summer does not come as often in this
section with a furnace-like blast of heat,
mainly IL the nights remain comfortable.
it will be safe to go ahead with peas.
When the soil is we'll fined" make the
rows about three feet apart and running
from thirty to fifty feet (for family of
four or fve), in the form of trench
about seven inches in depth and five or six
inches across, Sprinkle in about one inch
of the finest soil. Then SOW the peas.
Put 'em in fairly thick to get n good
stand" and thin out later. Next cover
with about two inches of finely pulverized
soil.
