GARDEN PEAS-Early Varieties 
Culture—Sow in rows 3 or 4 feet apart and about 1 inch apart in the rows, 3 to 4 inches deep. 
Peas grown as a market crop are never staked, but when the taller sorts are grown for private use 
they are generally sown in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, and staked with brush. For best re¬ 
sults all garden peas require good, strong, fertile soil. One pound will plant about 50 feet of drill.
