SWEET PEA 



SWEET PEAS should be sown in drills latter part of November for fall planting, or as early as possible iti 



spring, in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly, working in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it can be 



done, making a furrow four to six inches deep. 



In this sow the seed and cover two inches deep. As soon as the 

 plants begin to show through, fill in the furrow. This will secure 

 a deep planting without the bad effect of deep covering of the 

 seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom continuously 

 through the heat of cummer. 



The roots should not be allowed to become too dry. Water 

 applied thoroughly once or twice a week, preferably early in the 

 morning or in the evening, is usually better than light sprinkling 

 more frequently. 



The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the 

 plants will soon stop flowering. 



For the aphis or plant louse, spraying with solutions of some 

 tobacco extract or whale-oil soap is usually effective; and for the 

 Red Spider, which also causes trouble at times, spraying with 

 pure water is usually sufficient. A frequent change of location has also been 

 found important.

 varieties mixed in the newest colors and shades.

379. SUPERB SPENCER MIXTURE — This group includes the largest 

 and most beautifully formed sweet peas. The Spencers have very large 

 waved flowers which are produced aboundantly on long strong stems, making 

 the blossoms most desirable for cutting. 



The plants of Spencer varieties when grown outdoors are usually in bloom 

 much longer than other sweet peas, as most of the blossoms fall off after 

 maturity without setting pods.
