PEAS 
SELECTED FOR OUR CRITICAL TRADE 
Our list embraces the newest and highest types in Pea cul¬ 
ture. 
Peas are different from all other vegetables—the seeds are 
large and only one stem grows from each seed. They do not 
tiller; the plant is not bushy. They must be planted close to¬ 
gether—12 to 16 seeds to the foot. 
While a 10-cent packet of lettuce or radishes might suffice 
for the family garden and yield sufficient portions for numer¬ 
ous meals, a like amount of Peas will not. It requires 1 pound to 
plant 40 feet of row. Peas form a profitable crop to grow. Plant 
all you have room for. 
All varieties growing more than 1)4 feet high do better if 
staked up or otherwise supported when 4 to 6 inches tall. 
This support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees 
set between the double rows. The crop should be gathered 
as fast as it is fit to use. Even though just a few pods begin 
to ripen, new pods will cease to form, and those partly ad¬ 
vanced will stop growing.
