One pound will smv ioo feet of row; 120 pounds will sozv an acre. 
What is more delicious than young green Peas freshly picked off the 
vine and cooked immediately. Plant Peas to eat fresh and to can. Sow 
thickly, allowing 12 to 16 plants to grow per foot of row. Seeded in early 
spring, cover with 1 to 2 inches of pulverized soil. Many gardeners in¬ 
crease their yields by using seed inoculants. (See page 35). The sowing 
of early, medium and late varieties is preferred to successive seedings 
of one variety. Tall growing and late varieties will need support such 
as chicken wire or brush.
