BUCHANAN’S GARDEN PEAS 
CULTURE —The pea is hardy and endures cold well, either in or above 
the ground. It is best to sow the earliest varieties as soon as possible 
(February), in warm, light soil, prepared the previous autumn or winter. 
The main crop may be sown about two weeks later. Sow peas in drills 
about 2 to 3 inches deep, in rows 2% to 3% feet apart. One quart will 
sow 100 feet of drill. All wrinkled varieties are marked (*). These should 
not be planted until March.
