CULTURE: Early peas are grown with | 
best results on light warm soils; main 
crop varieties on fairly heavy soils but, 
of course, peas will do well on most any | 
much | 
nitrogen fertilizer as that will cause a | 
good garden soil. Do not use 
heavy leaf growth with fewer pods. Sow 
the extra early varieties in rows 2 to 3 | 
one inch apart and 2% to: 
8 feet apart as soon as the ground can | 
inches deep, 
be worked; and for succession, plant every 
two weeks until the middle of June. Early | 
varieties can be again planted in August 
and a good crop secured in the fall. A 
pkt. will plant about 15 feet, a pound 
about 100 feet and 120 to 160 pounds 
should be used for an acre. 
dust will control the aphis, 
on the seed. See next page.
