20 VEGETABLE SEEDS

GARDEN PEAS 
Peas can be sown very early in the spring, the hardy round-seeded varieties even as early as 
March i, and, generally speaking, the earlier you start your Peas the better, for the best crops are 
always obtained before the onset of real hot weather. For the first sowings use the smooth or round- 
seeded sorts, but after the first of April change to the wrinkled kinds which, although not so hardy, 
are much superior in quality. Make additional sowings every two weeks up to July I for a continuous 
supply all summer, but arrange to put the May and June plantings on deep, rich soil where you can 
conveniently water them during dry weather. 
A good way to grow Peas in the garden is to plant them in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, with 
sufficient space between each pair of double rows to allow for easy cultivating and picking. In the 
field, Peas are grown in single rows with 3 feet or more between. The seed should be covered about 
2 inches deep, or somewhat deeper in warm, dry weather. 
The dwarf varieties require no support, but the tall sorts should be provided with bush or wire 
to support the vines. Generally speaking, the tall varieties are more productive and retain their 
quality longer, although there are exceptions to this rule. 
A quart of seed will sow 100 feet of single row; 1 to l l /z bushels will sow an acre

this comparatively new variety is rapidly becoming a favorite for the first spring crop.

WORLD’S RECORD. The earliest wrinkled Pea, and one of the most popular varieties for both

are a shade smaller. }4pt. 20 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 65 cts., pk. $3, bus. $11.

lent quality. }4pt. 20 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 65 cts., pk. $3, bus. $11.
