PEAS 
A packet will sow about 20 feet of row, a pound 100 feet, two to four bushels 
per acre. 
For best results peas require moderate 
temperature, plenty of moisture and long 
daylight hours. They are not injured by 
light frosts and should be sown as early as 
the condition of the soil will permit. The 
seed should be planted at a depth of 14% to 
2 inches in rows 21 to 28 inches apart for 
dwarf varieties and 28 to 42 inches apart 
for the taller sorts. All varieties growing 
more than 1% feet high will do better if 
staked or otherwise supported when 4 to 6 
inches tall. It is best to sow early, medium 
and late kinds at the same time in order to 
obtain a succession. A succession can also 
be obtained by making successive plantings 
of a desirable variety but this cannot be 
extended over as long a period with good 
results. The crop should always be gathered 
as fast as it is fit for use. If even a few pods 
begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease 
to form, but those partly advanced will stop 
growing.
