GARDEN PEAS 
Peas thrive best in a light, rich, loamy soil that has been liberally manured the previous season. 
Plant the smooth varieties as early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy as 
the smooth kinds, and should be planted later; they are, however, sweeter and better flavored. For a 
succession, plant every two weeks. When grown for market, peas are rarely staked; in small gardens 
grow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, and stake with brush. They should be kept clean and the earth 
worked toward them two or three times during growth. One pound will plant 100 feet of drill; 1% bushels 
for an acre. All peas marked (*) are wrinkled.
