Sweet Peas 
SWEET PEAS 
Beautiful, Fragrant, Fashionable 
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.
