Culture. English Peas are very hardy and are not 
commonly attacked by insects. Frost does not hurt 
them, except while in blossom, and it destroys only that 
part of the crop in bloom; they will put on another crop 
immediately. If frost destroys the bloom it is a good 
idea to give the plants an application of Nitrate of 
Soda, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. Peas can be 
grown on almost any kind of soil and with about the 
same cultivation as beans. Sowing in double rows is a 
good plan, as they will support each other. Have rows 
4 feet apart and drop peas 1 to 2 inches apart in the 
row. Use a high-grade fertilizer at the rate of 1,000 to 
1,800 pounds per acre.
