Peas 
Culture —For heavy crops and most 
tender Peas, seed should be sown early 
in the Spring when the ground is cool 
and moist so that they may develop a 
heavy root system before hot weather 
sets in. It is advisable to plant varieties 
which mature at different times, but 
sowing the seed all at one time. We 
have selected the following varieties 
after observing many different kinds 
grow'ing in the fields. Plant in double 
rows. All varieties will be better if 
brush is placed between the double 
rows. This is best done as soon as the 
plants appear.
