KNOX’S IMPROVED PEAS 
Write for prices in large quantities. 
One pound will sow 60 feet of row. Light, moderately rich 
soil is best for this crop. Sowing of the first early variety 
should be made in October, and the other varieties for succes- 
sive crops. Plant every two weeks until the first of April. 
Peas are sown in single or double rows, from 2 to 6 feet apart, 
according to the variety or height to which they attain. Have 
the rows of the dwarf varieties 2 feet apart, and those of the 
medium sorts from 3 to 4 feet apart, and the tall varieties 
from 5 to 6 feet apart.
