GARDEN PEAS — Early Varieties 
(Varieties marked with star (*) are wrinkled ) 
Peas do best in a light, rich, loamy soil that has been liberally manured the previous season. Plant 
the smooth varieties as early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy and 
should be planted later, but they are sweeter and better flavored. For a continuous crop, plant every 
two weeks—as late as August for a late crop. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 
2’, to 3 feet between the double rows; stake the tall varieties with brush and work the earth toward 
them two or three times during growth. Gather as fast as they are fit to use, otherwise they will stop 
bearing. 2 lbs. will plant 100 ft. row; 90 lbs. per acre.
