2338. Peas.—The best soil for Peas is a light loam. The early sorts require rich ground. Sow in drills as early in the Spring as the ground will work.
2339. Pepper.—Sow late in Spring, in drills, on a warm border; or in a frame or hot-bed, in March; set out plants eighteen inches apart.
2340. Pumpkin.—The Mammoth Pumpkin has been grown to the enormous weight of 225 pounds. Plant early in May, in rich soil, in hills, eight to ten feet apart each way.
2341. Radish.—The early kinds should be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, in a sheltered situation.
2342. Rhubarb should be sown in Autumn or early in the Spring; when in the latter, transplant in the ensuing Spring to desired situation. The stems are used for tarts, and are fit for use before green fruit can be obtained, being a very desirable substitute.
