Peas 
Good Garden Peas 
The very early, smooth Peas can be sown while some frost is in the ground. 
They bear very early, but are not as sweet as the wrinkled kinds. Sow the wrinkled 
varieties when the ground is warm. Plant Peas in trenches that are 3 to 4 inches 
deep and 2 feet apart, covering seed with an inch of soil. Tall varieties should be 
kept from trailing on the ground by supports. This is a little more trouble than in 
growing the dwarf kinds, but you will get more Peas from them. Pinch back the 
tips of the runners of the tall kinds; it makes a heavier crop. 
All varieties of Peas listed on this page, offered at 10c per package 
One package will sow 12 feet of row; 1 pound, 100 feet. One pint weighs about one pound
