Garden Peas 
Culturo —One pound will plant 100 feet of sintg^le row; 60 to 75 pounds for an acre. A light 
soil is best for the early varieties, a heavier soil that will retain moisture for the main crop. 
Well-rotted manure may be used to enrich the soil. Peas are a cool weather crop. Plant 
the early smooth varieties, Alaska and Extra Earlies as soon as the ground can be worked 
in February. The wrinkled varieties should be planted in March. Make main crop plantings 
3 to 4 inches deep. Peas are usually planted in double rows, 12 inches between rows and 
3 to 4 inches between seeds. Plantings should be made every week until hot weather.
