GARDEN PEAS 
One pound of Peas will plant about 50 feet of drill 
Peas need no comments or recommendations, for everyone knows that they represent the 
outstanding garden delicacy of early Summer. With the possible exception of sweet corn. Peas 
are the most popular home-grown vegetable we know, and, as they are an early-season crop, 
they may well be followed by second plantings of bush beans, by a crop of cauliflower for late 
Autumn use, or by celery, spinach, lettuce, or late plantings of carrots, beets, and turnips for 
Fall and Winter consumption.
