PEPPER CALIFORNIA WONDER 
GARDEN PEAS 
CULTURE 
Peas may be planted in almost any kind of soil. In 
light soil during the warmer months they should be 
planted about 3 inches deep so as to be near moisture 
In heavier soils or in fall months plant about 1 inch 
deep, that warmth may penetrate and help germinate 
the seed. Rows should be about 2! to 3 feet apart. 
Excessive moisture will rot the seed, so do not irrigate 
after seed is planted until the plants are well out of 
the ground. Usual planting is at rate of 60 pounds per 
acre. One pound will plant a row of 150 feet.
