PEAS 
For peas, light dry soil is best. Sow as early as ground can be worked, and again every 
ten days for succession. Peas may be sown as late as August 15th. Medium and late peas 
must be planted early. Early peas may be planted early or late, and the extra early very 
late. Sow in single or double rows, according to variety, and about an inch apart in the row 
Hoe often, keep ground clean and fine. Most dwarf peas will bear better if bushed enough to 
keep them from the ground. If the pea louse attacks the vines, spray every day with a nico- 
tine spray of the same temperature as the atmosphere, using force.
