One pound plants 50 feet 

CutrureE: Peas mature earliest in light, rich soil. For 
general crop use a rich, deep loam. When grown in garden 
sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet 
apart. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early 
as the ground can be worked in February or March, plant 
for a succession every two weeks until June, then discon- 
tinue until,the middle of August, when a good crop may 
be secured “By sowing extra-early and early sorts for fall 
use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice dur- 
ing the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as 
the small, rovind sorts and if planted early should have a 
dry soil or they are liable to rot in the ground. They are, 
however, the sweetest and best-flavored varieties. The 
dwarf sorts are best suited for small gardens.
