573. Freezonian Peas 



PEAS 



One to two pounds will plant 100 feet of row; 

 120 pounds, an acre. 



Culture. Peas mature earliest in light, 

 rich soil. When grown in garden sow in 

 double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the rows 2 

 to 4 feet apart. Sow 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. For a fall crop 

 plant about the middle of August. The 

 wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the 

 small, round sort and if planted early should 

 have a dry soil or they are liable to rot in the 

 ground. They are, however, the sweetest and 

 best-flavored varieties.
