To Grow Good Peas

ing, and allow it to be exposed to the rays of the sun for 
ftve or six hours. Then sow the Peas in the late afternoon. 
This procedure increases the soil temperature, thereby 
hastening germination. 2 pounds of seed required for a 
100-foot row. 
Seed Potatoes

Potato, each with at least one eye. Cut your Potatoes a few 
days before planting so that the cut surfaces can form cal- 
louses.
