The very early, smooth Peas can be sown while some frost is in the ground. They bear very early, 
but are not as sweet as the wrinkled k nds. Sow the wrinkled varieties when the ground is warm. 
Plant Peas in trenches that are 3 to 4 inches deep and 2 feet apart, covering seed with an inch of 
soil. Tall varieties should be kept from trailing on the ground by supports. This is a little more trouble 
than in growing the dwarf kinds, but you will get more Peas from them. Pinch back the tips of the 
runners of the tall kinds; it makes a heavier crop.
