LETHERMAN’S SEED HOUSE, Canton, Ohio 
Peas 
2 pounds to 100 feet of row. 100 to 120 pounds to the acre. 
CULTURE—Peas do best in fairly rich soil and the cool months. A longer supply may be had by 
making successive planting. The smooth varieties may be planted as soon as the soil can be prepared; 
the wrinkled varieties are not so hardy and should be planted later. Plant in rows 2 to 2^ feet apart 
for the dwarf and 2^ to 3 feet for the tall varieties, covering the seed 1)^ to 2 inches, and spacing it about 
2 inches apart in the rows. Keep well cultivated and supply moisture if needed. Best results are usually 
obtained from the early plantings. Gather the pods as soon as they ripen. 
We have given the approximate time to the first picking which varies in different seasons and sections; 
the figures will assist in comparing the relative earliness or lateness of the different varieties.
