Peas 
Peas do best in heavy soils, but any

good peas. Peas do best in cool weath¬ 
er so should be planted as early as one 
can get into the ground. It is best to 
make an early planting of the earliest, 
the midseason and late varieties at 
once. This will give a supply of peas 
over a season of a month. Sow seed 
in trench 2 to 3 inches deep and one

for low kinds and 3 to 4 feet for tall
