Peas do best in a light, rich loamy soil that has been liberally 
manured the previous season. Plant the smooth varieties as early 
as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled Peas are not as hardy 
as the smooth kinds, and should be planted later; they are, how¬ 
ever, sweeter and better flavored. For a succession, plant every 
two weeks—until June 1—then discontinue until August 1, when the extra-early varieties 
may be planted for a fall crop. When grown in gardens, sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches 
apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush.
