PEAS .. And more of ‘em! 
“Garden-Grown” Means Sweet and Tender 

And it's no trick at all to produce the re- 
quirements of the family on a small sized 
garden spot. One pound will plant a row 
150 feet. For commercial acreage 60 to 80 
pounds per acre. These varieties are Lago 
grown on selected Sacramento Valley acre- 
ages. Normal successive plantings are 
made from October to March. Plant in well 
drained soil as peas rot in soggy soil. Once 
out of the ground the plants will stand con- 
siderable frost and cold. Sow 1 inch deep 
in rows 3 feet apart. Support should be 
given all except dwarf varieties.
