Gradus 
Peas should be sown as early as possible in order to mature before the hot summer weather. To secure an extra 
early crop the smooth seeded varieties may be sown just as soon as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled varieties 
are not quite as hardy and should be planted a little later. Sow 2 on 3 inches deep in single or double rows 3 to 4 
feet apart. The tall growing sorts require brush or other support. This is not so necessary for the dwarfer varieties 
but they are greatly benefitted if kept off the ground. For best results inoculate with Nodogen. Garden size 10c; 
bushel size 30c.
