Pen, Quite Content 
PEAS 
One quart will plant about 150 feet of drill. 
Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop a rich 
loam is the best. When grown in gardens sow in double rows 6 to 8 
inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. 
Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can 
be worked in February or March and continue for a succession every 
two weeks until July.
