PEAS 
2 pounds to 100 feet of row. 100 to 120 pounds to the acre. 
CULTURE—Peas do best in fairly rich soil and the cool months. A longer supply may be had by 
making successive planting. The smooth varieties may be planted as soon as the soil can be pre¬ 
pared; the wrinkled varieties are not so hardy and should be planted later. Plant in rows 2 to 2 Vi 
feet apart for the dwarf and 2Vz to 3 feet for the tall varieties, covering the seed 1 Vz to 2 inches, 
and spacing it about 2 inches apart in the rows. Keep well cultivated and supply moisture if need¬ 
ed. Best results are usually obtained from the early plantings. Gather the pods as soon as they ripen. 
We have given the approximate time to the first picking which varies in different seasons and sec¬ 
tions; the figures will assist in comparing the relative earliness or lateness of the different varieties. 
Inoculating Peas will make the crop earlier, increase the yield and enrich the soil. See page 35.
