One quart will plant 100 ft. of row; two bushels will plant one acre in rows 
3 ft. apart. 
Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable matter. 
For first-early crop sow in March or April, according as the ground can be worked, and 
at intervals of two weeks for succession. For private gardens they are generally sown 
in single or double rows 2 inches deep and from 8 to 4 feet apart, according to the height 
of the variety and strength of the soi!. Those growing over 214 feet in height should be 
supported with brush. After the end of May sowing should be discontinued until beginning 
of August, when a profitable crop may be secured by planting the extra-early varieties. 
Market gardeners will be supplied by the bushel at fow rates. Large consumers will please write for prices.
