HOW TO GROW THEM-—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 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.
