PEAS 
PEAS 
Culture. In a thermal zone plant peas from September Ist to 
February 1st, and in lowlands from January 1st to September Ist. 
In summer months, from May to September, plant 2 inches deep 
in heavy soil and deeper in sandy soil. From December to April 
plant not more than 1 inch deep. The object of this is to have 
the seed deep enough to lie in the moist earth, and shallow 
enough to get warmth from the sun. Never irrigate after plant- 
ing peas until they come up. Irrigate before planting, but do 
not plant until the soil is tillable. 
Peas will rot in soil that is too wet, especially during the winter 
months. They will stand a’ great deal of frost and cold weather 
until they bloom, but after they bloom a heavy frost will destroy 
the pods, and if cold enough, will kill the vines. Many planters 
sow 100 pounds of seed per acre, but 50 pounds of seed per acre 
drilled in rows and well cultivated will produce larger pods and 
more peas per acre; besides, there will be less mildew. Put the 
rows north and south for winter planting to give them as much 
sun as possible. 
Alderman (Improvement over Tall Telephone). Very popular 
for the market gardening trade especially where the plants can 
be staked up or twine used between posts. Pods are extremely
