Good Garden Peas 
The very early, smooth Peas can be sown while some frost is in the 
ground. They bear very early, but are not as sweet as the wrinkled kinds. 
Sow the wrinkled varieties when the ground is warm. Plant Peas in trenches 
that are 3 to 4 inches deep and 2 feet apart, covering seed with an inch of 
soil. Tall varieties should be kept from trailing on the ground by supports. 
This is a little more trouble than in growing the dwarf kinds, but you will 
get more Peas from them. Pinch back the tips of the runners of the tall 
kinds; it makes a heavier crop. 
All varieties of Peas listed on this page, offered at 10c per package
