THE PHILIPS-THOMPSON CO. 
PEAS. One quart to 100 ft. of row 
The ground for Peas should be enriched with plenty of manure or commercial fertilizer. Early varieties may be 
sown in March as soon as the ground can be properly worked; successive plantings may be made at two-week intervals 
up to the end of August, although plantings after the middle of May are not likely to produce as well on account of the 
hot weather. With favorable growing conditions peas are ready for the table in about 8 weeks from time of planting. 
Seed should be covered to a depth of 2 inches, with rows from 2 to 4 feet apart, according to type of vine and method of 
cultivation used. Taller varieties must have brush, poles or other type of support.
