16 McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS 
GARDEN PEAS 
Plant Enough to Can 
One of the most popular crops in the home garden. One pound sows 
100 feet in a row; 120 to 180 pounds per aere. The earliest sorts can be 
planted just as soon as the ground is in condition to work. They are not 
injured by light frosts. Wrinkled varieties a little later as they are 
y tender. For fall crop sow in August. 
Culture: Peas succeed best in light, rich loamy soil. The early 
dwarf varieties can be planted in rows 2 feet apart. The tall varieties 
in rows 8 feet apart. The seeds should be planted at a depth of 1% to 2 
inches. All varieties growing more than 114 feet high do better if staked 
up or otherwise supported when 4 to 6 inches tall: This support is usually 
given by sharpened branches of trees or sticks, Tall varieties yield more 
abundantly than dwarf. Cultivate and keep clean, working the earth 
toward the vines rather than away from them.
