before sowing in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart. Space seed an inch or two 
apart in the row and cover 1% .in. deep. Smooth-seeded varieties 
withstand frost and can be sown very early. Wrinkled- seeded ones — 
must wait until danger of frost entering the ground is past. 
For a succession sow several varieties with different maturity dates es 
at the same time. This is especially important where early summer __ 
may bring hot and dry weather. Since peas require cool weather to 
grow well and yield satisfactorily refrain from sowing between the 
middle of May and the middle of August. Then sow extra- early sorts 
for a fall crop. 
Home gardener should support taller varieties although truck grow- — 
ers never do this on account of the labor involved.
