FRESH GREEN PEAS ARE DELIEIDIIS 
NICHOLSON'S GARDEN PEAS 
(Guisantes Para El Jardin) 
Peas should be planted as early as the ground can be worked, in double rows 
8 to 10 inches apart; two pounds of seed to 100 feet of drill, IV 2 bushels per 
acre. You will have the best results with early Peas on light, warm soil, but 
the main crop will do better on a fairly heavy soil that will retain moisture. 
Inoculate Peas with Nitragin before sowing. For prices, see page 57.
