Peas succeed best on rather light rich loams, but will thrive in any good soil that has been 
deeply plowed or spaded and liberally manured. They dislike an acid soil and if such a condition 
exists, aii application of lime is essential. Make the first sowing just as early in the Spring as the 
ground is .workable—during March if possible. Sow the seed in drills and cover about 2 inches. 
Later sowings should be planted deeper. All but the very dwarf varieties should be supported. 
This support may consist of birch, wild cherry and other forms of brush or wire netting of large 
mesh. Two pounds of Peas will sow 100 feet of drill; 90 pounds to the acre.

TWO GOOD TIPS 
Naturally you want the very best Peas in your 
garden that it is possible to grow. Do two things. 
Lime your garden soil where you plant your 
Peas, for Peas thrive on a "sweet" soil. See 
Land Lime on page 93. 
Inoculate your Peas before sowing, with 
Nod-O-Gen. It really makes a difference. 
Special garden size bottle will inoculate 1 2 lbs. 
of seed for only 10c. See page 93.
