Garden Peas 
The smooth-seeded varieties are usually 
planted in late March as they are very hardy. 
Wrinkled varieties may be planted soon after 
April 1, or as soon as the ground can be prepared. 
Successive plantings should be made two 
weeks apart until May 15. 
Late plantings are not successful as the hot 
and dry weather is unfavorable to the develop¬ 
ment of the plants.
