Edible Peas Cow-peas or Field Peas CULTURE: The field pea is a warm weather crop grown mostly in the southern states. It is easily damaged by frost and should not be planted until danger of frost is past in the spring. It fits in well as a summer crop following spring vegetables. This vegetable is increasing rapidly in importance both for fresh market and for processing. It grows well on a wide range of soil types, but produces best on soils of medium fertility with pH of 5.5-6.5. On soils of high fertility levels excessive vine growth, with sparse flower and pod development results. Fertilize with 400 lbs. of 5-10-10 in rows prior to planting. Seed should be drilled l'-7 to 2 inches in depth in rows 3'2 feet apart. Three-fourths of a pound of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 100 lbs. of seed to plant one acre. IMost varieties in limited supply. Please order early. 559 Black Eye, Princess Anne This new variety was selected from a cross between a bunch Purple Hull and California No. 5 Blackeye.

Seed should be planted in a glass covered plant bed 8-10 weeks before field setting is desired (usually March). A warm, deep, fairly moist and loose soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5 is desired. Fertilize with 700-800 pounds of 8-8-8 per acre (3 qts. per 100 ft. of row). Set in rows 3^2 feet apart and space plants 18 inches apart. Sidedress 3-4 weeks after field setting with 10-15 pounds of nitrogen per acre (V2 cup of Nitrate of Soda, or its equivalent, per 100 feet of row) and at best twice thereafter at about two week intervals. Six ounces of seed will produce plants for one acre; 1 ounce will produce about 1,500 plants.
