PEAS 



To be at their best, peas need 

 moderate temperature, 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 varie- 

 ties at the same time, a well-arranged 

 succession can be obtained extending 

 over a period of 30 days. Successive 

 plantings of a desirable variety will 

 also provide a succession, 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/2 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 1 Yi 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.
