PEAS 
One pound plants 50 feet 

Cu ture: 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, round 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. 
Tasco Market. (58 days.) Its extreme earliness and 
fine quality have established this kind among growers 
anxious to get into market with high-quality Peas 
first. Plants are dwarf and need no support. Pods 
measure 4 to 5 inches and are packed with high- 
quality sweet Peas. It Is a heavy cropper, too.
