PEAS—GARDEN 
(IF BY MAIL, ADD POSTAGE) 
CULTURE—The extra early or smooth seeded varieties are 
very hardy and can be planted by January 15th, or as 
early in the Spring as the ground can be worked and until 
April 15th or later, while the wrinkled varieties are not 
as hardy and should not be planted until March 1st or 
later, as they are likely to rot if planted in cold, wet 
ground. The wrinkled varieties, however, are generally 
sweeter and of better flavor. Peas thrive best when 
planted in light, loamy soil, which has been well fertilized 
the previcus autumn, as fresh, rank manure applied when 
planting induces too heavy a growth of vine. Plant in 
rows about 3 feet apart and cover 2 to 8 inches.
