GREEN PEAS.
The Pride cf the Early Garden De
licious , Nutritious.
By FRANK DEVON.
From the time that the approach ot
Easter brings in the "hothouse" Iamb
with its accompanying dish of southern
grown melting gt'ecn peas till midsum
mer's drying heat begins to be too
much for even the sturdiest of pea
A incs we may have this most delicious
and most nutritious vegetable in per
fection. Florida indeed grows it to na
ture Miy lime during the winter.
Teas , it is hardly necessary to say , are
cool weather plants. Some of the va
rieties are among the first of seeds to
be intrusted to the bosom of Mofher
Earth while she is yet apparently in
a cold and unresponsive mood. Some
cannot endure any' frost , and others
are sown to mature as late as August
and September. But these late sum
mer peas are often something of a
XOIT'S
failure. They run the risk of midev\ ! \
and rot. and in the end. though thcj
i.ia.be . exceptionally Urge and wel
flavored , the/ lack the delicate charn
of the smaller earlier pea in its be i
season.
Xo garden is really a g.irwen now
ndays without plenty of peas. Ii
Queen Elizabeth's time , peas not beinj
common in those old English gardens
they had to be brought from Ilollam
and were called "fit dainties for ladies
they came so far and cost so dear. '
Xow. while the south grows our ear-
i liest peas , yet with a favorable sprint ;
the skillful garderter north of Wash
ington can bring the improved quick
maturing varieties to edible size in
early June , and an occasion:1.1 : grower
prides himself 0:1 : ha\ing a first pick
ing of green peas on Memorial day.
The smooth , round varieties of peas
are the earlier and hardier : the v.-riu-
kled the sweeter and better in quality.
On account of their superior hardiness
the smooth sorts are the first planted.
As soon as the ground can be worked
these varieties may Le put in. and the
plants will endure a pretty good freeze
when coming up and when well out
of the ground.
For choicest peas the tall sorts used
to be thought indispensable , but with
the introduction of improved kinds we
now have dwarf peas of quality to
please the most fastidious taste.
The dwarf wrinkled sorts represent
the highest quality in jloas. They do
not. howe\er. germinate es well as
the smooth pens and cannot s.o well
resist frost. P ; : t among the v , rin'.iled
peas .some are more vigorous than oth
ers. Xott's Cc ! sior is making a
splendid record aa a dwarf wrinkled
sort that may be planted almost as
early as the siudbth peas and will ma
ture so quickly as to make a crop near
ly as soon as the earlier planted kinds.
It is sometimes called the best early
dwarf pea. Seven to nine large , very
sweet peas are closely packed together ,
completely filling the pod. It is pre
ferred by some to tlie well known
American Wonder and Premium Gem ,
the good qualities of which it is said
to combine.
The new Surprise pea ( wrinkled ) has
two distinctive claims that it is espe
cially quick growing and. though it
must be planted later , will make a
crop almost as soon as the smooth va
rieties and that the peas remain ten
der and sweet a long time. Surprise
is especially nice for the home garden.

Too Early Testing.
As a consequence of 'the last poor
corn year thousands of fanners who
have never tested their seed corn are
probably doing so for the next crop.
And there is a very natural result to
be feared namely , that of testing too
early in the season. This very early
testing is by no means sure to prove
satisfactory , for. as an exchange sug
gests , it frequently happens that corn
will give a high percentage germina
tion in the middle of winter , while the
same seed if kept two months longer
may have its vitality greatly impaired.
Where corn is placed so that it cannot
be frozen there is less danger of this
happening , but even then better results
will be obtained if seed testing is left
until some time during the early spring
days.
days.We
We have in mind an instance where
good dry oats gave 10 per cent better
germination in the middle of January
than they did on the 1st of April. All
seedsmen will tell you that they find it
necessary to retest s-eeds in the spring
that have been tested during the winter - ,
ter in order to make sure of their vital
ity.
Wrinkles In Lettuce Growing.
A combination method of indoor and
outdoor lettuce culture that sometimes
works nicely is starting head lettuce in
the greenhouse , hotbed or cold frame
and transplanting to the open as soon
as the weather is favorable. Not only
do we thus get earlier lettuce , but the
development of head lettuce seems to
be very fine under these conditions.

Seeded Tennisball. Market Gardener's

Hanson are varieties suitable for this

or box. ]
combination culture. The last two are
curl } * leaved varieties , but under prop
er cultural conditions form good heads.
The plants are started in the green
house , transplanted into flats and hard
ened off in the cold frames. [ They are
then set in the open ground in revs
fifteen inches apart and about ten
inches apart in the row.
Another wrinkle in the growing of
early lettuce is to grow the plants in
pots until about the size of that shown
'
in the figure and then transplanted to
flats , In which the plants are grown to t
maturity or at least salable size.
