_ 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 
prepared, but do not sew in cold, wet ground. They grow best when weather is cool.
