Giessler’s Dependable Vegetable Seeds 41 
THE FINEST GARDEN PEAS 
Culture. For heavy crops and most tender Peas, seed should be sown early in the 
spring when the ground is cool and moist so that they may develop a heavy root 
system before hot weather sets in. It is advisable to plant varieties which mature 
at different times, but sowing the seed all at one time. We have selected the 
following varieties after observing many different kinds growing in the fields. 
Plant in double rows. All varieties wil! be better if brush is placed between the 
double rows, as soon as the plants appear. 
One pound will plant 100 feet of row.
