Peas 
Sow seed in rows, covering with 1 inch of soil, and spacing 
them 1 inch apart. Where space is at a premium, Peas are 
often planted in double rows, allowing about 8 inches between 
them and 3 feet between pairs of rows. Put supports in when 
planting. Smooth-seeded varieties are best for early planting; 
wrinkled-seeded kinds for late planting.

To Grow Good Peas 
To grow good Peas in Greenwich, plant them as early 
as possible. A good tip is to open the row in the early morn- 
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. 
Parsley 
Seed is slow to germinate, sometimes requiring three to four 
weeks. Soak it overnight before planting, and keep soil moist 
with wet burlap until it germinates. To encourage new growth 
plants can be sheared in late summer. 1 ounce will plant 100 
feet of row.
