GARDEN PEAS 
Every home garden can easily produce enough Peas to supply the table for many 
weeks. For a continuous supply of this delicious vegetable, sow the hardier smooth- 
seeded peas as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. Follow them with 
the wrinkled-seeded sorts when all danger of frost has passed. Besides sowing at the 
beginning of the season varieties which will mature one after another, also make succes¬ 
sion sowings at intervals of 10 to 14 days up to about June 1. Peas prefer cool, moist, 
loamy soil. Cover the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Provide supports for the tall-growing 
varieties. One lb. of seed will sow 120 ft. of single row. In drills, 100 to 150 lbs. are 
required to plant one acre. The extra-early (EE) peas mature in 54 to 58 days; the early 
(E) varieties require 60 to 62 days; the second-early or main crop (M) varieties need 68 
to 76 days before they are ready.
