CULTURE FOR GARDEN PEAS 
Sow seed 2 Inches deep in rich soil very early in the 
spring and for a succession put in varieties that mature 
at different periods or if dwarfs only are desired, sow 
a few rows every 10 days throughout the season. For 
hand cultivation sow in rows 15 inches apart, but if 
grown on a large scale it is best to sow in rows from 
2 to 3 feet apart and cultivate them with a horse or trac¬ 
tor. One pound of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 75 to 100 
lbs. of seed required to an acre. 
FERTILIZER FOR PEAS 
Use' about 300 pounds to the acre of 4-16-4, in drills, 
to get the best returns from your Pea crop. Fertilizer 
will improve the quality and increase the crop greatly.
