Garden or English Peas 
CULTURE: Plant peas as soon as the soil 
can be cultivated in the spring. Plant about 
10 seeds to the foot, 2 to 3 inches deep in 
rows 3 or 4 feet apart or plant in double rows 
6 inches apart with the ordinary space be- 
tween the rows. Supports may then be placed 
in the narrow space between the rows. Smooth 
peas are easier to get up, but wrinkled peas 
are much sweeter.
