den peas in cultivation. Alaska is one of 
the most widely grown peas for canning 
purposes, also a prime favorite with market 
growers, as it holds its green color so well, 
and almost the entire crop can be gathered 
at a single picking.

How, When and Where to Plant 
One pound will plant 100 feet of single row; 60 
to 75 pounds for an acre. 
A light soil is best for 
the early varieties, a heavier soil that will retain moisture for the main crop. Peas are a cool 
weather crop. Plant the smooth-seeded varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in Feb- 
ruary. The wrinkle-seeded varieties should be planted in March. The southern grown varieties 
should be planted in May and June. 
usually planted in double rows, 12 inches between rows and 
Plantings should be made every week until hot weather. 
Fertilizer per 100 feet of row before planting. 
Make main crop plantings 3 to 4 inches deep. 
Peas are 
3 to 4 inches between seeds.
