EARLY SWEET PEAS. 



It pays well if you have good sweet 

 peas to offer, say two weeks before your 

 customers begin to cut from their own 

 plants in the garden. Flowers of shades 

 such as shell or rose pink, soft lavender 

 or white can be used for many purposes 

 and always find buyers at good prices. 

 The flowers of sweet peas cut about the 

 end of May or early June from outdoors 

 are larger and the stems longer than the 

 plants will produce in July and August, 

 for the sweet pea, or Lathyrus odoratus, 

 loves cool soil and not too high tempera- 

 ture to do well and in that respect does 

 not differ from the garden pea. 



To have early outdoor sweet peas, sow 

 from five to seven seeds to a 4-inch pot 

 about March 15. Do not expose to a 

 night temperature of over 50 degrees. 

 The little plants will need support by 

 the middle of April. We use one 12-inch 

 stake for each pot, and after they are 

 tied up, a few days in a coldframe will 

 harden them off sufficiently to be planted 

 out. It is not advisable to divide the 

 plants for this purpose. Have support 

 consisting of 4-foot chicken wire in place 

 before planting, allowing about eight 

 inches between the plants. Do not worry 

 if the tops of the plants should get 

 blighted by an unexpected frost. We 

 had this happen with about 2,000 plants 

 last season and were about to pull them 

 up, when it was discovered that the 

 plants were making fresh shoots from 

 below, and while we had plants elsewhere, 

 grown from seed sown in the open 

 ground, which were about four inches 

 high, the young growth of the frozen 

 plants produced fine flowers fully nine- 

 teen days ahead of the others, and kept 

 «)n for four weeks with good long stems 

 After this tipie the plants from the out- 

 <loor-8own seed were at their best, and 

 while It was not at all a paying proposi 

 tion with the flowers we cut in July and
