Sweet Pea, Early Spring Maid. 
HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas should be planted as early in spring as the 
ground can be worked. Rich loam with an abundance of well 
rotted manure is ar ideal soil. A trench about 6 inches deep 
should be made, sowing the seed thinly in the bottom, and 
cover with an inch of soil, pressing it down firmly. Gradually 
fill in the trench as the plants grow, and thin out to 2 to 4 
inches apart. When too close they make a weak growth with 
inferior flowers. Brush or wire netting should be placed in 
the rows as soon as the plants appear above ground. During 
dry weather water thoroughly and stir the surface soil fre- 
quently to prevent evaporation. Keep the flowers cut and 
never allow seed pods to form, as that at once ends the 
flowering season. 
Late fall planting of Sweet Peas is practical, and is best 
done just before the ground freezes up, sowing the seed about 
3 inches deep, covering the rows with manure or leaves after 
the ground is frozen. =
