GARDEN PEAS 
One pound of Peas will plant about 50 feet of drill 
Peas need no comments or recommendations, for everyone knows 
that they represent the outstanding garden delicacy of early Summer. 
With the possible exception of sweet corn, Peas are the most popular 
home-grown vegetable we know, and, as they are an early-season crop, 
they may well be followed by second plantings of bush beans, by a crop 
of cauliflower for late Autumn use, or by celery, spinach, lettuce, or late 
plantings of carrots, beets and turnips for Fall and Winter consumption.
