GARDEN PEAS 
Every home garden can easily produce enough Peas to supply the table for many 
weeks. For a continuous supply of this delicious vegetable, sow the hardier smcxtlh- 
seeded Peas as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. Follow them with 
the wrinkled-seeded sorts when all danger of frost has passed. Besides sowing at the 
beginning of the season varieties which will mature one after another, also make 
succession sowings at intervals of 10 to 14 days up to about June 1. Peas prefer cool, 
moist, loamy soil. Cover the seed 1 to 2 in. deep. Provide supports for the tall-growing 
varieties. One lb. of seed will sow 120 ft. of single row. In drills, 100 to l.SO lbs. are 
required to plant one acre. The e.xtra-early (EE) Peas mature in 54 to 58 days; the 
early (E) varieties require 60 to 62 days; the second-early or main crop (M) varieties 
need 68 to 76 days before they are ready.
