One quart will plant 100 feet of row; two bushels will plant one acre in rows 3 ft. apart 
Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable matter. For first-early crop sow in March or April, 
according as the ground can be worked, and at intervals of two weeks for succession. For private gardens they are generally sown in 
single or double rows 2 inches deep and from 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the height of the variety and strength of the soil. Those 
growing over 234 feet in height should be supported with brush. After the end of May sowing should be discontinued until beginning 
of August, when a profitable crop may be secured bv planting the extra-early varieties.
