Grow The Miracle, An Outstanding Pea 21

UT VOUT ETC OPE EE 

Good source of vitamin C with fair amounts of vitamins A, 
B, and iron. 

There is no more luscious vegetable than fresh young green peas picked right from the 
garden. For the successful growing of this delicacy, cool weather and good soil preparation 
are essential. So they may mature in succession it is better to PLANT AN EARLY, A 
MEDIUM and A LATE VARIETY AT THE SAME. TIME rather than several sowings 
of one kind. 
Time to Plant—Just as early in the Spring as the soil is workable (about April 1). 
Soil Preparation—Any good garden soil which has been deeply spaded and liberally manured. Peas 
dislike acid soil and if such a condition exists, it should be corrected by working in lime (about 5 lbs. to each 
100 square feet). 
: Planting—Sow in drills, allowing one inch between seeds and about 3 feet between rows. Cover the seed 
with about one inch of soil. 
Cultivation—As soon as they begin to grow, some form of support should be provided for all but the very 
ne varieties. (Birch brush or poultry wire.) Constant cultivation will add considerably to the quality of 
the crop. 
1 1b. of seed will sow about a 50 foot row
