EARLY SORTS 
PEAS 
Culture Sow in earliest spring, in rows 2J4 to 4 feet apart, drilling 
the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Smooth varieties may be sown earlier 
than wrinkled varieties. Peas for market are seldom bushed. In home 
gardens, the taller varieties may be sown in double rows 12 inches 
apart and supported with brush. One pound is enough for 100 feet of 
row; 2 bushels per acre. A quart weighs nearly two pounds. A bushel 
of smooth peas weighs 60 pounds; wrinkled peas, 56 pounds.
