PEAS. The garden pea combines two features 
of great value. It is not only very nutritious 
and rich in Vitamin A, B and C but provides 
many advantages of clean vegetable, hence, its 
first great importance as a garden crop. For 
best results this crop is grown in a cool mild 
climate. 
Peas do well on practically all types of gar- 
den soil. Best results may be obtained by using 
a good commercial fertilizer at the rate of 4 
pounds per 100 foot row. Also for a better crop 
it is advisable to inoculate with Nitragin. 
Almost no garden crop is so easy to start as 
peas. Peas of the low sort should be planted 
just as early as the ground can be worked. You 
need not wait for the last erratic frost, Sowing 
pea seeds should be practically the first spring 
activity in the vegetable garden. Tall varieties 
are better planted about ten or fifteen days 
later than the lower sorts. 
For the first planing of the low varieties make 
the drills about two inches deep, or 1 inch deep 
if the soil is heavy and has much clay in it. 
Later planting should be in drills about twice 
this depth but only half filled at first. As the 
plants grow the trench is gradually filled up. 
The object of this deeper drill for the later 
planting is to secure greater coolness and 
moisture for the roots and plants that will have 
to face greater heat. 
Peas need only sufficient cultivation to keep 
down weeds.

PUMPKINS. Pumpkins are 
grown much the same as melons, 
but are less sensitive to cold 
weather. They are best after the 
first light frosts, usually during 
the months of October and No- 
vember. Seed should be planted 
during the early part of May, in 
hills 6 to 8 feet apart in all di- 
rections. Every garden should 
have a few hills of this truly 
American vegetable.
