PEAS 
Two pounds (one quart) will sow a row 100 feet long; 75 to 100 lbs. for an 
acre. A pint weighs about one pound. Smooth seeded varieties weigh 60 pounds 
to the bushel, and wrinkled-seeded varieties weigh 56 pounds to the bushel. 
Culture: Dry and moderately rich loam is best adapted to early Peas, while heavy 
soil is preferable for the late sorts. The early varieties are usually planted about 
2 inches deep, from the middle of January to the middle of March; wrinkled Peas, 
being so liable to rot in cold, wet ground, they should not be sown before the latter 
part of February. Dwarf varieties may be drilled in rows 18 inches apart, but 
more space must be given to the kinds which make more vine, truckers usually 
allowing 2% feet for the ordinary extra earlies. Commence cultivating when the 
Peas are 2 inches high, and draw the earth up on each side to help in supporting 
the vine. In the latitude of Norfolk a fall crop of Peas may be planted between 
the middle of August and the tenth of September.
