Sow 1 quart of seed to 200 feet of row; >/i to 2 bushels to an acre in drills 
Culture. Peas succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Sow the early, 
smooth, round sorts as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds 
of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold, and must 
be planted later. Sow in single rows, or in double drills, 6 to 8 inches apart, 
1 inch apart in the drill, and not less than 4 inches deep; for late sorts 
5 to 6 inches deep. Deep planting prevents mildew.
