President Wilson Peas 



Garden Peas ( E b -) 



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 pound of Peas will sow 50 feet of row. 



If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per pound.
