PEAS 
2 pounds to 100 feet of row. 100 to 200 pounds to acre. 
CULTURE—Peas do best in fairly rich soil and the cool 
months. A longer supply may be had by making succes¬ 
sive planting. The smooth varieties may be planted as 
soon as the soil can be prepared; the wrinkled varieties 
are not so hardy and should be planted later. Plant in 
rows 2 to 21/2 feet apart for the dwarf and 2 Vi to 3 feet 
for the tall varieties, covering the seed 1 Vi to 2 inches, 
and spacing it about 2 inches apart in the rows. Keep 
well cultivated and supply moisture if needed. Best results 
are usually obtained from the early plantings. Gather the 
pods as soon as they ripen. 
We have given the approximate time to the first pick¬ 
ing which varies in different seasons and sections; the 
figures will assist in comparing the relative earliness or 
latness of the different varieties. 
We pay postage on Peas up to 10 lbs.
