Peas are one of the 
finest garden vegetables. 
The home gardener 
should not depend upoti 
one planting. Plant some 
of the earlies, mediums 
and lates. The early 
peas are not usually as 
sweet as the mid-season 
or the late varieties and 
the wrinkled varieties 
are always much sweeter 
than the smooth, but the 
smooth varieties can be 
planted in the ground a 
trifle earlier than the 
wrinkled varieties. The 
varieties marked * are 
the wrinkled varieties. 
For large amounts see

CULTURE: Early 
peas are grown with best 
results on light warm 
soils; main crop varie¬ 
ties on fairly heavy 
soils but of course, peas 
will do well on most 
any good garden soil. Do 
not use much nitrogen 
fertilizer as that will 
cause a heavy leaf 
growth with fewer pods. 
Sow the extra early 
varieties in rows 2 to 3 
inches deep and 2% to 
3 feet apart as soon as 
the ground can be work¬ 
ed and for succession, 
plant every' two weeks until the middle of June. Early' 
varieties can be again planted in August and a good 
crop secured in the fall. One pound of seed will sow 
about 50 feet, 120 to 160 pounds should be used for 
an acre. Use Nitragin on the seed. Now comes in 10c 
jmckage which will inociilate 4 pounds of seed. See 
next page.
