Wrinkled-Seeded Early Peas 
Wrinkled-seeded peas, both early and main crop varieties, are favored by many home gardeners, as 
well as market growers and canners, because of their extra sweetness and better quality. Contrary to 
popular belief, they can be planted as early as smooth-seeded varieties—as soon as soil can be pre- 
pared, but do not sow in cold, wet ground.

How to Grow PEAS 




32 W. Atlee Burpee Co. 
~~ 

Peas make their best growth during cool weather so that the first planting 
of seed should be made as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. 
Sow an early variety two or three times at 10-day intervals or choose 
from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded early and main-crop 
varieties. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Planting space avail- [> 
able more or less governs the number of sowings and the choice between | 



= 
tall and dwarf varieties. Peas are usually planted in double rows 3 in. | 
apart, the seeds dropped 2 in. apart and covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. | 
Double rows should be spaced about 2% ft. apart. Provide supports for — 
the tall-growing varieties. A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 Ib. 100 ft.
