DWARF PEAS

Dwarf peas are popular mainly because there is little or no difficulty in cultivating them. They need very little space, for they can be grown as close as two feet between rows, and they keep the light from other things far less than the larger varieties. A dressing of bonemeal will help the plot before sowing takes place. The seed can be protected from mice by steeping it in paraffin.
