Inoculate This Seed With NOD-O-GEN. 
One lb. will plant about 100 ft.; 70 to 85 lbs. an acre. 
Peas of the extra early, smooth class are first to be planted m 
the spring. The wrinkled sorts follow later, as they are not quite 
so hardy. The tall, late varieties need brush, wire or some other 
support. Though light, warm soil is desirable for the extra early 
varieties. Peas generally produce o much larger crop on soil 
which is moderately heavy. 
Plant the early and dwarf varieties in driiis feet apart 
ond 3 or 4 inches deep, cover with only one inch of soil and fill 
the trench gradually as plants grow. Plant the taller and later 
varieties in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and 5 to 6 inches deep, 
covering as already suggested. The tall, late varieties, plant in 
double rows.
