Olds’ Fancy Garden Pea 
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 
good garden soil. Do not use much 
nitrogen fertilizer as that will cause a 
heavy leaf growth with fewer pods. Sow 
the extra early varieties in rows 2 to 8 
inches deep, one inch apart and 2% to 
38 feet apart as soon as the ground can 
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. Rotenone 
dust will control the aphis. Use Nitragin 
on the seed, 
The varieties marked * are the wrin- 
kled varieties. 
Varieties marked with ~% are excellent
