Burpee’s Best Peas 
Every home garden can easily produce enough Peas to supply the table for many weeks. For a continuous supply of this 
delicious vegetable, sow the hardier smooth-seeded peas as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. Follow them 
with the wrinkled-seeded sorts when all danger of frost has passed. Besides sowing at the beginning of the season varieties 
which will mature one after another, also make succession sowings at intervals of 10 to 14 days up to about June 1. Peas 
prefer cool, moist, loamy soil. Cover the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Provide supports for the tall-growing varieties. One lb. 
of seed will sow 120 ft. of single row. In drills, 100 to ISO lbs. are required to plant one acre. The extra-early (EE) peas 
mature in 50 to 55 days; the early (E) varieties require 55 to 60 days; the second-early or main crop (M) varieties need 65 
to 75 days until their main picking.
