Gradus Peas 
PEAS 
Erbsen Pois Guisantes Pisellos 
One packet is enough for 10 feet of row; one pint for a 30-foot row; one 
pint each of an early, midseason, and late variety will provide ample Peas for 
a small home-garden. 
Culture. As soon as the frost is out of the ground, sow the early, smooth 
Peas in deeply prepared, rich soil. When the soil is warmer, sow midseason 
sorts, or any of the early wrinkled Peas. For a late supply, sow the tall, wrinkled 
varieties in rows feet apart. All Peas are better for having a rack or brush 
to grow on. 
EXTRA-EARLY SMOOTH-SEEDED VARIETIES

abundance. An excellent early strain, maturing in about 65 days
