Erbsen (Ger.) PEAS Piselli (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow about 10 feet of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
Note: A pound is about a pint and 15 Ibs. equals a peck; half bushels or more of one 
variety are sold at the bushel price. If your order including peas amounts to $20 or more, 
we will pay transportation on peas in quantities listed “‘not paid.” See inside front cover. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable that we know of than fresh, young green peas 
picked right off the vines in your garden and cooked immediately. If the garden is 
small, sow all the land you can spare. When you are eating and enjoying luscious 
green peas from your own garden you will not regret the space they take. After the 
peas are gone the ground can be used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
Itis well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so they will mature 
in succession. This is better than to sow one kind three or four times during the 
season. See collections below. 
USE GYPSUM (Land Plaster) 
Many people find that after they have raised peas a few years in their garden, the 
vines begin to turn yellow and die. This is caused by a disease known as Root Rot. 
It has been found that ordinary gypsum will control this trouble. Simply spread it 
broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and rake it in. Use it at the 
rate of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most dealers of building supplies sell gypsum. If 
you cannot obtain it locally, we can supply. See page 86.
