Smooth-Seeded Early Peas 
Smooth-seeded peas are valuable for earliest crop, high yield and general hardiness. Seeds should be sown as 
early in the spring as ground can be worked as they do best when soil and weather are cool. Further cultural 
directions are given on the next page and on the packages containing the seeds.
