| GARDEN PEAS— Early Varieties myacn"? “ 
August. 
(Varieties marked with star (*) are wrinkled ) 
Peas do best in a light, rich, loamy soil that has been liberally manured the previous season. Plant the smooth 
varieties as early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy and should be planted 
later, but they are sweeter and better flavored. For a continuous crop, plant every two weeks—as late as 
August for a late crop. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 234 to 3 feet between the 
double rows; stake the tall varieties with brush and work the earth toward them two or three times during 
growth. Gather as fast as they are fit to use, otherwise they will stop pearing.
