Early Bird Peas 
GARDEN PEAS 
CULTURE—There are two classes 
of Peas, the smooth-seeded kinds, 
which are very hardy and may be 
planted as early in the spring as the 
ground can be prepared, and the 
wrinkled Peas, which are less hardy 
but much better in quality. Wrinkled 
Peas should not be sown much before 
mid-April. Sow in drills about 3 feet 
apart and 3 inches deep. 
By planting 1 or 2 varieties of 
smooth-seeded Peas as early as pos- 
sible and then a selection of wrinkled 
sorts that will mature in succession, 
a constant supply of tender green 
Peas may be had. Two pounds will 
sow 100 feet of row, 2 bushels to the 
acre in 3-ft. rows.
