ISBELL SEED COMPANY 
PEAS 
NORTHERN GROWN 
SEED 
CULTURE. Any good rich garden soil is suitable for peas but they thrive best in 
heavy or clay soils which hold moisture well. Peas like a moderate temperature andi 
plenty of moisture and, as they are not injured by frost, should be planted just as 
early as the frost is out of the ground. It is best to plant early, medium and late 
varieties all as early as possible. This will give a fine supply of peas for a period 
of a month. 
Sow seed in a trench 2 to 3 inches deep and an inch apart. The dwarf kinds may 
be planted in rows 2 to 2% feet apart but the tall kinds should be 3 to 4. feet apart. 
For the tall kinds some suitable support should be provided such as sticks, brush, 
string or wire. One pound of seed will sow a row 5ft feet long.
