CULTURE — The very earliest sowing of peas may be made as early in March as the gardener can prepare a piece of ground because 
subsequent frosts do not hurt the young plants, especially those of the extra early smooth-seeded varieties. Sow in single or double rows 
24 to 26 inches apart, covering seeds about 2 inches deep. All varieties do better with some sort of support. Where the brush is lacking, 
poles and twine may be utilized. By selecting varieties maturing in succession (and it is easy to pick them out from the following pages 
because they are listed in about the same order as they reach full size), a constant supply of delicious peas may be had from early in June 
until middle of August. Experience has proven that sowings made after middle of May are not as successful as the earlier ones because 
hot midsummer heat is apt to cut short both vines and pods. Material for inoculating Peas will be found offered on page 223.

628 Early Eight Weeks. In our trials, this pea was ready for picking before any of the other extra 
early varieties and the quality all that could be asked for in a smooth extra early Pea. The 
vines were very dwarf, growing only 12 to 15 inches in height and loaded with the well filled 
pods, which were quite large in size for so early a variety. The pods-should be picked from 
vines while they are in a young state of growth, at which time the peas are exceedingly 
tender and of a most delicious flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; 34
