731 Burpee’s Best Extra-Early—ouite iardy 
60 days. A favorite medium-tall, extra-early, smooth-seeded variety. The 2% ft.- 
vines are very productive, carrying an abundance of well-filled pods containing 5 to 7 
small, round, light green, luscious peas. The pods mature over a long season, which 
makes it especially suitable for home use. The early maturity and hardiness of this 
variety make it popular too for local market sale. Pods are blunt ended, light green, 
2% to 3 in. long. Vines, because of their medium height, do not require supports.

How to Grow PEAS 
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. Plant- 
ing space available 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. 
For best results, provide supports for the tall-growing 
varieties. A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 Ib. 100 ft.
