Dark Podded Thomas Laxton Peas 
PEAS 
Two pounds (1 quart) will sow a row 100 feet long; 75 to 100 lbs. for an acre. A pint weighs 
about one pound. Smooth seeded varieties weigh 60 pounds to the bushel, and wrinkled-seeded 
varieties weigh 56 pounds to the bushel. 
Culture: Dry and moderately rich loam is best adapted to early Peas, while heavy soil is 
preferable for the late sorts. The early varieties are usually planted about 2 inches deep, from 
the middle of January to the middle of March; wrinkled Peas being so liable to rot in cold, 
wet ground they should not be sown before the latter part of February. Dwarf varieties may 
be drilled in rows 18 inches apart, but more space must be given to the kinds which make more 
vine, truckers usually allowing 2% feet for the ordinary extra earlies. Commence cultivating 
when the Peas are 2 inches high, and draw the earth up on each side to help in supporting 
the vine. In the latitude of Norfolk a fall crop of Peas may be planted between the middle 
of August and the tenth of September.
