SUGAR PEA
MAY BE EATEN WHOLE. The sugar pea differs from the ordin- , ary green pea in that its pods are destitute of the tough membrane, and consequently are always soft and tender. ■ and do not open when ripe. They may be eaten entire, the tender, fleshy part i of the pod becoming more fully de--1 veloped, in the absence of the tough, parchment-like membrane. As it is a strong grower stakes at least sft high should be provided, and the seeds should be sown thinly. The pods are picked when the seeds are quite small, when they will be found to have an excellent flavour.
