GARDEN PEAS 
SOW AN ABUNDANCE OF PEAS 
Fresh, young green Peas picked right off the vines in your garden and 
cooked immediately! We do not know of a more delicious vegetable. When 
you are eating luscious, melting green Peas from your own yard you will not 
regret the space they occupy. 
Sow at the same time some of the early, medium and late sorts. Then they 
will mature in succession. This is better than to sow one kind three or four 
times. Seed should be inoculated with Nitragin. See page 56. 
CULTURE.—Any good rich garden soil is suitable for peas but they thrive best 
in heavy or clay soils which hold moisture well. 
Sow seed in a trench 2 to 3 inches deep and an inch apart. The dwarf kinds 
may be planted in rows 2 to 214 feet apart but the tall kinds should be 3 to 4 feet 
apart. For the tall kinds some suitable support should be provided such as sticks, 
brush, string or wire. One pound of seed will sow a row 50 feet long.
