Peas 
One pound will sow 100 feet of row; 120 pounds will sow an acre. 
The very early, round-seeded sorts may be sown as soon as ground is 
fit; the wrinkled sorts a week or so later. Further sowings may be 
made at intervals as needed, but best results are secured from early 
sowings. A good fall crop may often be raised by planting the extra 
early sorts about August 5. Peas should root deeply to grow well. Let 
the furrows be broad at the base so the seed may be well distributed; 
this is preferable to double rows. The rows should be spaced 2 feet 
apart for dwarf sorts, 3 feet for the medium high, and 4 feet for the 
tall late sorts. Peas under 3 feet high grow well without support.
