PEAS 
2 pounds to 100 feet of row. 100 to 200 pounds to acre. 
CULTURE—Peas do best in fairly rich soil and the coo! 
months. A longer supply may be had by making successive 
planting. The smooth varieties may be planted as soon as the 
soil can be prepared; the wrinkled varieties are not so hardy 
and should be planted later. Plant in rows 2 to 2i/2 feet apart 
for the dwarf and 2’/2 to 3 feet for the tall varieties, covering 
the seed 11/2 to 2 inches, and spacing it about 2 inches apart 
in the rows. Keep well cultivated and supply moisture if need¬ 
ed. Best results are usually obtained from the early plantings. 
Gather the pods as soon as they ripen. 
We have given the approximate time to the first picking 
which varies in different seasons and sections; the figures will 
assist in comparing the relative earliness or lateness of the 
different varieties.
