Peas are one of the finest garden vegetables. The 
home gardener should not depend upon one planting. 
Plant some of the earlies, mediums and lates. The early 
peas are not usually as sweet as the ipid-season or the 
late varieties and the wrinkled varieties are always 
much sweeter than the smooth, but the smooth varieties 
can be planted in the ground a trifle earlier than the 
wrinkled varieties. The varieties marked * are the 
wrinkled varieties. Por large amounts see page 35. 
CULTURE: Early peas are grown with best results 
on light warm soils; main crop varieties on fairly heavy 
soils but of course,- peas will do well on most any good 
garden soil. Do not use much nitrogen fertilizer as 
that will cause a heavy leaf growth with fewer pods. 
Sow the extra early, varieties in rows 2 to 3 inches 
deep and 2 V 2 to 3 feet apart as soon as the ground 
can be worked and for succession, plant every two weeks 
until the middle of June. Early varieties can be again 
planted in August and a good crop secured in the fall. 
One pound of seed will sow about 50 feet, 120 to 160 
pounds should be used for an acre. Use Nitragin on 
the seed. Now comes in 10c package which will inocu¬ 
late 4 pounds of seed. See page 11.
