KORTHERN GROWN 
PEAS 
CULTURE^—Any grood rich garden soil is suitable 
for peas but they thrive best in heavy or clay soils 
which hold moisture well. Peas like a moderate tem¬ 
perature and plenty of moisture and, as they are not 
injured by frost, should be planted just as early as the 
frost is out of the ground. Late planting is not advised 
as poas will seldom amount to much if they mature 
during the hot dry-midsummer weather. For this 
reason it is best to plant early, medium and late 
varieties all as early as possible. This will give a 
fine supply of peas for a period of a month. 
Sow seed in a trench 2 to 3 inches deep and 
an inch apart. The dwarf kinds may be planted 
in rows 2 to 2^ feet apart but the tall kinds 
should be 3 to 4 feet apart. For the tall kinds 
some suitable support should be provided such 
as sticks, brush, string or wire. One pound of 
seed will sow a row 50 feet long.
