The Secret of Success in Growing Peas 
You, too, can grow big crops of luscious Peas through- 
out the summer if you will follow this advice— 
Instead of planting at 2 or 3 week intervals, plant the 
early, midseason and late varieties all at one time in 
early spring, just as soon as the ground can be 
worked, and the different varieties will bear in steady 
succession.

Plant Them Early! 
One pound will plant 100 feet of drill 
CULTURE—Peas are a_ cool- 
weather crop and must be planted 
as soon as the ground can be worked 
inspring. fA rich, light soil is required 
and plenty of water if a full crop is 
to be produced. It will pay to use a 
balanced commercial fertilizer in the 
row when the seeds are sown. (See 
page 76.) Sow in rows 2 feet apart 
and Q inches apart in the row. 
Avoid crowding, as closer planting 
will produce no greater crop. Tall 
varieties must be supported with 
light stakes or brush.
