SWEET PEAS—UP-TO-DATE 
A deep, rich, moist soil is best suited to Sweet Peas. They are usually 
grown in double rows, with a wire trellis or a row of brush between. For 
each double row make the drills about five inches deep, and nine or ten 
inches apart. Sow plentifully, covering about two inches deep, and by 
degrees, as the vines grow up, fill the trenches with soil. Spring sow- 
ings should be made just as early as the ground can be prepared; frost 
does not hurt the little seedlings. The earliest flowers are from seed 
sown in the fall, preferably in a dry situation, and four or five inches 
deep, giving them level culture. As fertilizer, a liberal use of bone meal 
worked into the soil will give excellent results.
