How to Grow Peas 
Peas make their best growth during cool weather so ‘that the first 
planting of seed should be made as early in the spring as the soil can be 
worked. Sow an early variety two or three times at 10-day intervals or 
choose from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded early and main- 
crop varieties. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Planting space 
available more or less governs the number of sowings and the choice be- 
tween tall and dwarf varieties. Peas are usually planted in double rows 
.3 in. apart, the seeds dropped 1 in. apart and covered with 1 to 2 in. of 
soil. Double rows should be spaced about 2! 
2 ft. apart. Provide supports 
for the tall-growing varieties. A pkt. will SOW 20 ft. of row; 1 lb. 100 ft.
