GARDEN PEAS 
Every home garden can easily produce enough peas to supply the table for 
many weeks. For a continuous supply of this delicious vegetable, sow the 
early, mid-season, and late varieties as early in the spring as the soil can be 
prepared. Both wrinkled and smooth-seeded types can be planted early. 
Besides sowing at the beginning of the season varieties which will mature 
one after another, also make succession sowings at intervals of 10 to 14 days 
up to about June 1. Cover the seed 1 to 2 in. deep. Provide supports for 
the tall-growing varieties. One pkt. of seed will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 lb. 
100 ft.; 120 lbs. 1 acre. Treat seed with Cuprocide to insure good stands.
