CULTURE—Peas are a_ cool- 
weather crop and must be planted 
as soon as the ground can be worked 
in spring. A rich, light soil is required 
and plenty of water if a full crop is 
to be produced. It will pay to use a 
balanced commercial fertilizer in the 
row when the seeds are sown. (See 
page 76.) Sow in rows 2 feet apart 
and 2 inches apart in the row. 
Avoid crowding, as closer planting 
will produce no greater crop. Tall 
varieties must be supported with 
light stakes or brush.
