Dreer’s Reliable VEGETABLE SEEDS 

Pois, FR. Guisante, Sp. 
piste Garden Peas = 320: 
One pound will plant 100 feet of drill. 
Smooth-seeded peas can be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. 
Subsequent frost does not hurt them. Sow in single or double row, 24 to 26 inches apart, 
covering the seeds about 2 inches deep. All wrinkled varieties are sown in the same 
manner, but the gardener must wait until all danger of frost has passed or otherwise the 
wrinkled seeds will rot. All varieties over 2 feet do better with support.
