PEAS 
One to two pounds will plant 100 feet of row;

Peas are not only delicious food but they 
contain iron and vitamins A, C, and Bj. 
Currure. Peas mature earliest in light, 
rich soil. For general crop use a rich, deep 
loam or one inclining to clay. When grown 
mm garden, sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches 
apart and the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Com- 
mence sowing the extra-early varieties as 
early as the ground can be worked in Feb- 
ruary or March; plant for a succession every 
two weeks until June, then discontinue until 
the middle of August, when a good crop may 
be secured by sowing extra-early and early 
sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean 
and earthed up twice during the growing 
period. The wrinkled varieties are not as 
hardy as the small, round sort and if planted 
early should have a dry soil.
