PEAS 
Culture —Peas require a rich, light, dry and sandy soil and they should be sown as soon as 
the ground is in working condition. Avoid using a coarse, rank manure, however, as it drives 
the plants to vines without pods. They are usually planted in double rows for home garden, 
6 to 8 inches apart for the tall varieties; single rows, 1 foot apart for the dwarf sorts. For market 
crop in rows, drill 1 to 2 inches deep in 3-foot rows. Successive plantings can be made every 
10 days up to the middle of July. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the smooth sorts 
and should not be planted as early. One pound is sufficient for 100 feet of row, and 2 bushels 
for an acre.
