Smooth-seeded peas can be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be pre- 

 pared. 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.
