Garden Peas 
Culture. For early peas the soil should be 
light and warm, but for the main crop, a 
heavier soil is better. Fresh manure and very 
rich or wet soil should be avoided, as they 
cause a rank growth of vines at the cost of 
quality and quantity. Peas are very hardy, 
enduring cold well. The smooth varieties, such 
as Alaska or Earliest of All, are the earliest 
and hardiest, and may be planted in January 
in the Southwest or as soon as the frost is 
out of the ground in the North. The wrinkled 
varieties are sweeter and more tender, but 
are liable to rot if planted before the ground 
is warm. 
Write for special prices on peas in large 
quantity.
