PEAS 



To be at their best, peas need moderate tempera- 

 ture, plenty of moisture, and long daylight hours. 

 They are not injured by light frosts and may be 

 planted as early in spring as the condition of the soil 

 will permit. 



By planting some of several varieties at the same 

 time, a well-arranged succession can be obtained ex- 

 tending over a period of 30 days. Successive plant- 

 ings of a desirable variety will also provide a suc- 

 cession, but this cannot be extended over as long a 

 period with good results. 



The seeds should be planted in rows at a depth of 

 IJ^ to 2 inches. The rows should be 21 to 28 inches 

 apart for dwarf varieties and about 28 to 42 inches 

 apart for the taller sorts. 



All varieties growing more than IJ^ feet high do 

 better if staked up or otherwise supported when 

 4 to 6 inches tall. Use sharpened branches of trees 

 set between the double rows. 



Not less than 5 lbs. of a variety so<d at the 10 lb. 

 rate.
