be light and warm. 
Plant one lb. to one hundred feet 
of drill, 90 to 150 lbs. per acre, or 
176 lbs. if broadcast. 
For very early peas the soil should 
Prepare the seed bed in the fall and plant as 
early in the spring as the soil can be worked. It is best to double 
rows about six inches apart and then leave a space of thirty inches 
to the next double row. Do not plant in heavy, sticky soil, as the seed 
will rot before germinating. Plant Early, Second Early and Late sorts 
for succession. Many make too small plantings of peas. Plant plenty; 
20 feet of double row is required per consumer. They are very fine 
food and take the place of many things you would otherwise buy. 
By the new freezing process, green shelled peas may be had 
throughout a longer season. The shelled peas are blanched one min¬ 
ute and frozen solid, holding in coid storage. Asgrow No. 40 is the 
best sort for this purpose.
