Two pounds (one 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 pref¬ 
erable 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 mu.st be given to the kinds which make more vine, truckers 
usually allowing 21/2 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. 
Our Peas are produced from Thorobred Stocks in the Mountain States of the Northwest, 
and are free from disease and weevil. 
Inoculate your Peas with Nitragin. (See page 43)
