GARDEN PEAS c-bs^n. 



There are two classes of Peas, the smooth- 

 seeded kinds, which are very hardy and may 

 be planted as early in the spring as the 

 ground can be prepared, and the wrinkled 

 Peas, which are less hardy but much better 

 in quality. Wrinkled Peas should not be 

 sown much before mid-April. 



Sow in drills about 3 feet apart and 3 

 inches deep. Tall-growing kinds may be 

 grown in double rows, allowing 6 inches of 

 space between in which to place brush or 

 trellis to support the vines. 



By planting 1 or 2 varieties of smooth- 

 seeded Peas as early as possible and then a 

 selection of wrinkled sorts that will mature 

 in succession, a constant supply of tender 

 green Peas may be had. Varieties are listed 

 in the order in which they mature. 



One quart of Peas will sow 100 feet of row. 



If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per pint, 

 10c per quart.
