Sweet Peas, Shirley Temple 



HOW TO GROW THEM— Sweet Peas should be plant- 

 ed as early in spring as the ground can be worked. 

 Rich loam with an abundance of well rotted manure 

 is an 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 the ground. During dry 

 weather, water thoroughly and stir the surface soil 

 frequently 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.
