GARDEN-FRESH 
One pound will plant 100 feet of single row; 60 
to 75 pounds for an acre. A light soil is best for 
the early varieties, a heavier soil that will retain moisture for the main crop. Well-rotted manure 
may be used to enrich the soil. Peas are a cool weather crop. Plant the early smooth varieties, 
Alaska and Extra Earlies as soon as the ground can be worked in February. The wrinkled 
varieties should be planted in March. Make main crop plantings 3 to 4 inches deep. Peas are 
usually planted in double rows, 12 inches between rows and 3 to 4 inches between seeds. Plant- 
ings should be made every week until hot weather. 
SMOOTH VARIETIES ... (Sow in February and March) 
EARLY ALASKA. (Wilt-resistant.) (54 days.) 
(Height 33 inches.) One of the earliest garden

ing. Postpaid, 1/4 lb., 10c; 2 lb., 20c; Ib., 35c;

times called Big Pod Alaska. Only a few days
