FARMER SEED & NURSERY CO., FARIBAULT, MINN 
NORTHERN GROWN PEAS 
Sow 1 pound for 50 feet of drill; 2 to 3 bushels per acre. 
In order to have luscious, tender peas throughout the summer, even after hot weather sets in, plant 
all your peas early in spring, at the same time, using extra early, main crop, and late sorts. Peas 
require cool, moist weather and early planting, to develop their roots and set the crop. They may 
be planted as soon as the ground can be worked, from April 1 to May 15, in this latitude. By 
planting such varieties as Extra Early Eight Weeks, Little Marvel, Thomas Laxton, Laxton’s Progress, 
Potlatch and Quite Content, you can pick peas from your garden almost until fall. 
CULTURE —Garden Peas do best in light, rich soil, and are quite hardy, requiring fairly cool 
weather. The extra early varieties can be sown just as soon as the ground can be worked, early in 
April here. Sow in rows 24 to 26 inches apart, covering the seed about 2 inches deep. The tall 
varieties should be supported with brush, or twine and light stakes.
