PEAS 
A packet of seed will sow about 10 feet of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
A pound is about a pint and 71% lbs. equals a half peck. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay transportation charges 
on peas to places in the United States. For larger quantities write 
for special prices. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable than fresh, young green 
peas picked right off the vines in your garden and cooked 
immediately. If the garden is small, sow all the land you can 
spare. When you are eating and enjoying luscious green peas 
from your own garden you will not regret the space they take. 
After the peas are gone the ground can be used for late cabbage, 
turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same 
time so they will mature in succession. This is better than to 
sow one kind three or four times during the season. See collec- 
tions on next page. 

Many people find that after they have raised peas a few 
years in their garden, the vines begin to turn yellow and die. 
This is caused by a disease known as Root Rot. In sections 
where it is not too severe, ordinary gypsum (land plaster) 
usually gives fairly good control of this trouble. Simply spread 
it broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and 
rake it in. Use it at the rate of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most 
dealers of building supplies sell gypsum.
