PEAS 
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 lbs. equals a peck; 
half bushels or more of one variely 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 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. 
It is 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 collec- 
tions on next page. 
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 
eaused by a disease known as Root Rot. Jt 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.
