PEAS—ALASKA 
PEAS—THOMAS LAXTON 

Peas can be grown in every garden, but for 
the earliest varieties a light, warm moder- 
ately rich soil is most suitable The smooth 
kinds can be sown as soon as the ground 
can be worked, but the wrinkled varieties 
should not be planted until it is warmer, 
or they will rot. Sow in single or double 
rows from 1 to 3 feet apart, dropping 
a Pea every inch and covering from 2 to 
3 inches deep. For a succession sow every 
10 days up to July. Sow 1 quart to 50 
feet of arill; 1/4 to 2 bushels to an acre.

dwarf wrinkled varieties. The vines are 
about 9 to 12 inches high and produce a

ceedingly sweet, tender and well flavored.

Avoid planting Pumpkins in the garden, as 
they will mix with cucumbers, melons and 
other vines. Usually they are planted in 
the cornfield, dropping 3 or 4 seeds in 
every fourth hill.

RUTABAGA 
Rutabagas require a longer growing 
season than turnips. Seed may be sown 
at the same time you plant turnips, 
in rows 24 to 3 feet apart. Culture 
is practically the same as for turnips, 
except the plants should be thinned to 
8 to 10 inches apart in the row. One 
ounce will sow 400 feet of row; 1 to 2 
pounds per acre in drills; 3 to 4 pounds 
per acre broadcast.
