ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE, N. C. 
GARDEN OR ENGLISH PEAS 
(Varieties Marked With Star (*) Are Wrinkled) 
CULTURE — Plant the smooth varieties as 
early as the ground can be worked, drop seed 3 
to 4 inches apart 2 inches deep in double rows 6 
to 8 inches apart, 2^4 to 3 ft. between the double 
rows and stake the tall varieties with brush. The 
wrinkled peas are not as hardy as the smooth sorts 
and they should be planted later ; they are sweeter 
and better flavored. They should be kept clean and 
the earth worked toward them 2 to 3 times dur¬ 
ing the growth. For a continuous crop, plant 
every 2 weeks as late as August for a fall crop. 
Gather as fast as they are big enough to use 
otherwise they will stop bearing. Peas mature 
earlier in a light, rich soil ; for general crop, a 
moderately heavy soil is best. Two lbs. will 
plant 100 ft. of row ; 90 to 100 lbs. per acre. 
Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm. Use plenty 
of good fertilizer.
