HOW TO GROW PEAS. They must have good rich soil worked deep and 
thoroughly. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure worked in is good (we have it). How¬ 
ever, soil too rich will force the plants to an unnatural growth, sometimes twice 
the height of their natural habit, which prevents the usual productiveness, and 
makes “all vine and no Peas.” If desired for first in the market, then plant our 
new extra-early “GOOD-TIMES” Pea, or Alaska. They may be planted as early 
as you can get in the garden. The wrinkled-seeded varieties are much sweeter 
and not so hardy. The seed sometimes rots if planted very early, although this 
depends on the weather after they are planted. Make the rows 1 foot apart 
for low-growing sorts and for the home-garden, and 3 feet for large plantings for 
horse cultivation. For tall sorts make rows 2 feet apart in the home-garden and 
3 to 4 feet for large plantings. Cover early plantings 1 to 1 inches; when soil is 
warm, cover 2 inches. By successive plantings every 2 weeks Peas may be had 
all season. Cultivate thoroughly all through the growing period, but keep out of 
them when they are wet. Two pounds will plant a row 100 feet long; 100 to ISO 
pounds to the acre. 
Peas with the same name but different strains may vary greatly. Our 
pure-bred strains give you superior quality, uniform size, and heavier 
yields. It is to your interest to plant all Schell’s Quality Peas.
