PEAS 
Culture Sow in earliest spring, in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, drilling 
the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Smooth varieties may be sown earlier than 
wrinkled varieties. Peas for market are seldom bushed. In home gardens, 
the taller varieties may be sown in double rows 12 inches apart and supported 
with brush. One pound is enough for 100 feet of row; 2 bushels per acre 
A quart weighs nearly two pounds. A bushel of smooth peas weighs 60 
pounds; wrinkled peas, 56 pounds.
