Garden Peas 
The furrow for Peas should be 4 inches 
deep. Sow the seeds 1 inch apart and 
cover with 1 inch of fine soil, thus leav- 
ing part of the furrow unfilled above 
them. This is to be filled gradually with 
fine soil as the plants grow until the fur- 
row is filled level with the ground. By 
this method, the sun can warm through 
the soil to the roots. Peas can be planted 
as soon as the frost is out of the ground. 
The rows should be 214 feet apart. One 
pound will sow 50 feet.
