Laxatonian Pea 



GARDEN PEAS 



One Quart Will Sow lOO Feet of 

 Row. 



The extra early smooth seeded 

 sorts should be sown as early in 

 the spring as the ground can be 

 worked, while the wrinkled sorts 

 should not be sown until later, as 

 they are more tender and cold wet 

 ground will cause the seed to rot. 

 A selection of varieties and sowing 

 in succession of both the smooth 

 seeded and wrinkled varieties will 

 provide a constant supply, except 

 in the hot summer months. 



Sow the seed in rows about 3 

 feet apart and 3 inches deep. The 

 tall growing sorts can be sown in 

 double rows, allowing 6 inches of 

 space between the rows, in which 

 place brush or trellis to support the 

 vines. The dwarf growing varie- 

 ties thrive best in a light rich soil, 

 while the tall main crop sorts \yill 

 do best in fairly heavy soil which 

 retains moisture.
