Burpee’s Best Peas 
•*" Every home garden can easily produce enough Peas to supply the 
table for many weeks. For a continuous supply of this delicious 
vegetable, sow the hardier smooth-seeded peas as early in the spring 
as the ground can be prepared. Follow them with the wrinkled- 
seeded sorts when all danger of frost has passed. Besides sowing 
at the beginning of the season varieties which will mature one 
after another, also make succession sowings at intervals of 
10 to 14 days up to aboutjunel. Peas prefer cool, moist, 
loamy soil. Cover the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Provide 
supports for the tall-growing varieties. One lb. of seed 
will sow 120 ft. of single row. In drills, 100 to 150 
lbs. are required to plant one acre. The extra-early 
(EE) peas mature in 50 to 55 days; the early (E) 
varieties require 55 to 60 days; the second-early 
or main crop (M) varieties need 65 to 75 days 
until their main picking.
