OLDS’ GARDEN PEAS 
Peas are one of the finest garden vegetables. Do not depend upon one planting. Plant some of the earlies, mediums 
and lates. The early peas are not usually as sweet as the mid-season or the late varieties and the wrinkled varieties 
are always much sweeter than the smooth, but the smooth varieties can be planted in the ground a trifle earlier than 
the wrinkled varieties. The varieties marked * are the wrinkled varieties. For large amounts see page 39. 
CULTURE: Early peas are grown with best results on light warm soils; main crop varieties on fairly heavy soils 
but of course, peas will do well on most any good garden soil. Do Dot use much nitrogen fertilizer as that will 
cause a heavy leaf growth with fewer pods. Sow the extra early varieties in rows 2 to 3 inches deep, and 2 y 2 to 
3 feet apart as soon as the ground can be worked and for succession, plant every two weeks until the middle of 
June. Early varieties can be again planted in August and a good crop secured in the fall. One pound of seed 
will sow about 50 feet, 120 to 100 pounds should be used for an acre. Use JSlitragin on the seed. See page 7
