SWEET PEAS 
Beautiful, Fragrant, Fashionable 
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 thorough- 
ly 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, cov- 
ering the rows with manure or leaves after the ground is frozen.
