Garden Peas 
Culture. For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but 
for the main crop, a heavier soil is better. Fresh manure and 
very rich or wet soil should be avoided, as they cause a rank 
growth of vines at the cost of quality and quantity. Peas are 
very hardy, enduring cold well. The smooth varieties, such as 
Alaska or Earliest of All, are the earliest and hardiest, and may 
be planted in January in the Southwest or ai soon as the frost 
is out of the ground in the North. The wrinkled varieties are 
sweeter and more tender, but are liable to rot if planted before 
the ground is warm. 
Write for special prices on peas in large quantity.
