Garden Grown Peas Are Always Sweet and Tender 
The best time to plant peas in our locality 
is from October 1st to March 1st. Planted 
later than this they will produce only a 
small crop, as very hot weather will stunt 
their growth, except along the coast where 
tho weather is cool and moist, they can be 
planted practically the entire year. Do not 
plant peas when the ground is wet or 
soggy as they will easily rot; however, 
when they are out of the ground they will 
stand a great deal of frost and cold 
weather, except if a heavy frost catches 
them just after blooming it will kill the 
pods. They will bloom again and form 
other pods but the crop will not be so 
heavy. Plant 60 to 80 pounds of seed per 
acre, either in hills or drills.
