GARDEN PEAS 
Time to Plant—Just as early in the Spring as the soil is workable (about April 1). 
Soil Preparation—Any good garden soil which has been deeply spaded and Bberally manured. 
Peas dislike acid soil and if such a condition exists, it should be corrected by working in lime (about 
5 lbs. to each 100 square feet). 
Planting—Sow in drills, allowing one inch between seeds and about 3 feet between rows. Cover 
the seed with about one inch of soil. 
Cultivation—As soon as they begin to grow, some form of support should be provided for all 
but the very dwarf varieties. (Birch brush or poultry wire.) Constant cultivation will add consider- 
ably to the quality of the crop. 
1 1b. of seed will sow about a 50 foot row
