 Peas are not only delicious food but they 

 in iron and vitamins A, C and Bi. 

 Every garden needs lots of Peas. , 



G i ri Rf. Peas mature earliest in light, 

 rich soil. For general crop use a rich, deep 

 loam or one inclining to clay. When grown 

 in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 m< 

 apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Commence 

 sowing the extra-early varieties as early as 

 the ground can be worked in February or 

 March; plant for a succession every two 

 weeks until June, then discontinue until tin- 

 middle of August, when a good crop may be 

 secured bv sowing extra-early and early sons 

 for fall use. They should be kept clean and 

 earthed up twice during the growth. The 

 wrinkled varieties are not as hard) as the 

 small, round sort and if planted early should 

 have a drv soil or thev are liable to rot in the 

 ground. They are, however, the sweetest 

 and best-flavored varieties. The dwarf 

 varieties are best suited for small gardens.
