GARDEN PEAS 
Plant Them Generously Cut Plant “Them Early 
One pound will plant about 100 feet; 70 to 85 Ibs. an acre. 
Peas of the extra early, smooth class are first to be planted in the spring. The wrinkled sorts follow 
later, as they are not quite so hardy. The tall, late varieties need brush, wire or some other support. 
Though light, warm soil is desirable for the extra early varieties, Peas generally produce a much 
larger crop on soil which is moderately heavy. 
Plant the early and dwarf varieties in drills 242 
feet apart and 3 or 4 inches deep, cover with only 
1 inch of soil and fill the trench gradually as plants grow. Plant the taller and later varieties in rows 
3 or 4 feet apart and 5 to 6 inches deep, covering as already suggested. The tall, late varieties, plant 
in double rows.
