Culture—Both wrinkled and smooth seeded types 
may be planted as early in the spring as the soil can 
be prepared. Frequent planting for succession and a 
eareful selection for varieties, will give an almost con- 
tinuous crop of peas until frost. Larger pods and a 
greater yield may be produced if the seed is planted in 
trenches 3 to 6 inches deep and covered with only 1 
inch of soil, filling trench gradually as plants grow. 
This will secure deep rooting, prevent mildew and pro- 
long the bearing season. Provide supports for tall- 
growing varieties. Rows should be approximately 3 
feet apart. One packet of seed will sow a 20-foot row ; 
1 pound, 100 feet; 120 pounds, 1 acre.
