early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy and should be planted later, but they are sweeter and ‘ 
better flavored. For a continuous crop, plant every two weeks—as late as August for a late crop. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in WwooD S SEED 
double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 2!/, to 3 feet between the double rows; stake the tall varieties with brush and work the earth INOCULATION 
toward them two or three times during growth. Gather as fast as they are fit to use, otherwise they will stop bearing. 2 Ibs. will 
Plant 100 ft. row; 90 Ibs. per acre.
