GARDEN PEAS 
Peas are one of the most popular garden 
vegetables. They should be planted as early 
in the spring as it is at all possible to work 
the ground, using both early and late varie- 
ties to give a continuous supply of peas. 
Make the rows two feet apart and cover the 
seed with one to one and one-half inches of 
soil, using about a pound of seed to the 100 
feet of row. .
