Peas
Green Peas._
_The Crown Imperial_, takes rank in point of flavor, they blossom,
purple and white on the top of the vines, will run, from three to five
feet high, should be set in light sandy soil only, or they run too
much to vines.
_The Crown Pea_, is second in richness of flavor.
_The Rondeheval_, is large and bitterish.
_Early Carlton_, is produced first in the season--good.
_Marrow Fats_, green, yellow, and is large, easily cultivated, not
equal to others.
_Sugar Pea_, needs no bush, the pods are tender and good to eat,
easily cultivated.
_Spanish Manratto_, is a rich Pea, requires a strong high bush.
All Peas should be picked _carefully_ from the vines as soon as dew is
off, shelled and cleaned without water, and boiled immediately; they
are thus the richest flavored.
