HOW TO GROW PEAS. They 
must have geod rich soil worked deeply and thoroughly. 
Wizard Brand Sheep or Cow Manure worked in is good (we 
have it). If desired for first in the market, then plant our extra- 
early GOOD-TIMES Pea, or Alaska. They may be planted as 
early as you can get in the garden. The wrinkled-seeded va- 
rieties are much sweeter and not so hardy. The seed sometimes 
rots if planted very early, although this depends on the weather 
after they are planted. Make the rows 1 foot apart for low- 
growing sorts and for the home-garden, and 3 feet for large 
plantings for horse cultivation. For tall sorts make rows 2 feet 
apart in the home-garden and 3 to 4 feet for large plantings. 
Cover early plantings 1 to 114 inches, when soil is warm cover 
2 inches. By successive plantings every 2 weeks Peas may be 
had all season. Cultivate thoroughly all through the growing 
period, but keep out of them when they are wet. Two pounds 
will plant a row 100 feet long; 100 to 150 pounds to the acre.
