GARDEN PEAS 
Peas make their best growth during cool weather so that the first planting of seed 
should be made as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. Sow an early variety two 
or three times at 10-day intervals or choose from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded 
early and main-crop varieties. Sow again in midsummer for a fall crop. Planting space 
available more or less governs the number of sowings and the choice between tall and dwarf 
Peas are usually planted in double rows 3 in. apart, the seeds dropped 1 in. 
apart and covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double rows should be spaced about 2% ft. apart. 
Provide supports for the tall-growing varieties. A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 lb. 100 ft.

tlee Burpee Co., The Best Seeds That Grow 
Wrinkled-seeded peas are favored by many home gardeners, as well as market growers and canners, 
because of their extra Sweetness and better quality. Contrary to popular belief, they can be planted 
as early as smooth-seeded varieties —as soon as soil can be prepared, but do not sow in cold, wet ground.
