PEAS 
One pound will sow 60 it., 80 to 100 Ibs., will sow an acre. 
CULTURE: Peas require moderate temperature, plenty 
of moisture and good, fairly rich soil. The earliest 
crop can be planted when the ground is ready to work 
and later plantings can be made which will give you 
fresh peas all summer long, especially if you are 
growing them in the higher altitudes where the sum- 
mers are good. Dwarf or short vine peas are best 
suited where space is scarce and soil very rich. Can 
be sown in single or double rows with about 2 inches 
between the seeds and rows 14 to 2l feet apart. 
The seed should be planted about 1 inch to l¥2 inches 
under the surface.
