Peas in the pod, canned, or frozen are now a year round staple food but wait, if you 
can, until you pick that first mess of Peas fresh from your own garden in June. New 
fresh peas and bread and butter! “food for the Gods.” Sow the smooth seeded varieties 
as early as the ground can be worked, in single rows 3 feet apart. Cover seed 2 or 3 
inches deep. Wrinkled Peas may rot in cold wet ground and should be sown later. 
Make sowings at 2-week intervals until May 20th for succession. Pkt. for 20 ft.; 1 
pound for 100 ft. of row.
