GARDEN PEAS 
Every home garden can easily produce enough Peas to 
supply the table for many weeks. For a continuous supply 
of this delicious vegetable, sow the hardier, smooth-seeded 
Peas as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. 
Follow them with the wrinkled-seeded sorts when all danger 
of frost has passed. Besides sowing at the beginning of the 
season varieties which will mature one after another, also 
make succession sowings at intervals of 10 to 14 days up 
to about June 1. Peas prefer cool, moist, loamy soil. Cover 
the seed 1 to 2 in. deep. Provide supports for the tall- 
growing varieties. One pkt. of seed will sow 20 ft. of row: 
1 lb. 100 ft.; 120 lbs. 1 acre. 
731 Burpee’s Best Extra-Early O 
58 days. An extra-early smooth-seeded variety growing 2 ft.

as home use. The early maturity and hardiness of this variety 
make it popular wherever Peas are grown. Pkt. 10^; V 2 lb. 250;
