MODERN SEED HOUSE 
PEAS 
Plant the seed an inch deep and an inch apart in rich, well-drained 
soil in early spring, and every two weeks after that until June for a 
succession. Sow it in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, and the rows 2 to 
3 feet apart. Smooth-seeded varieties may be planted as soon as the 
soil is workable, but wrinkled-seeded kinds should not be planted until 
the ground is warm. A pound of seed sows 100 feet of drill.
