PEAS 
Smooth Seeded Varieties 
CULTURE: Sow in earliest spring, in rows 2!/% to 4 feet apart, drilling the seed 1 to 2 
inches deep. Smooth varieties may be sown earlier than wrinkled varieties. The wrinkled 
varieties are more sensitive to cold, wet weather than the smooth seeded sorts, but they are 
of superior quality. In home gardens, the taller varieties may be sown in double rows 12 
inches apart and supported with brush. One pound is enough for 100 feet of row; two bushels 
per acre. A bushel of smooth peas weighs 60 pounds; wrinkled peas, 56 pounds.
