Peas—Laxton Progress 
1% Ibs. will plant 100 feet of row; 120 to 180 lbs. 
per acre. It is well to plant the dwarf varieties in 
double rows about 7 inches apart and then allow 
1% to 2% ‘feet until the next companion rows. 
The tall varieties are planted in single rows about 
3 feet apart or a little less than their respective 
height of the vines. Tall varieties are best grown 
on brush or the like, when planted in a garden. 
The smooth seeded varieties are the earlier sorts 
and should be planted first, and the wrinkled 
kinds a little later. Peas are planted about 2 
inches deep. They should be planted in the Spring 
as soon as the ground can be worked.
