LARGE-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 



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 live 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 sowings 

 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 Ave inches deep, giving them level culture. As fertilizer, a liberal use of bone 

 meal worked into the soil will give excellent results.
