Bolgiano's Giant Orchid Flowering or Spencer 

 Sweet Peas 



Culture. Dig a trench 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide and fill 

 with rich soil which has been carefully mixed with well rotted 

 manure or black mold from the woods and generously sprinkled 

 with lime. Early planting is necessary for best results with 

 Sweet Peas as it gives the plants opportunity to develop good 

 deep root systems to sustain them during the hot daj's. When 

 the warm weather does come, such plants then make a strong 

 upward growth. As soon as the frost is out of the ground in the 

 spring and the soil is in a workable condition, sow the seed in 

 drills 2 to 3 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Thin out the plants 

 so they will stand 4 to 6 inches apart. Water, lime and deep 

 cultivation are the essentials for Sweet Pea growing. When 

 the young plants produce tendrils .support them with chicken 

 v\-ire, sticks or string. Sweet Peas are heavy feeders — liquid 

 manure applied once a week will be beneficial. Keep the seed 

 pods picked off in order to lengthen the season of bloom and 

 produce large, fine flowers. Sweet Peas may also be grown 

 successfully in the fall by covering the bed with a hea-\n^ mulch 

 which must be removed very early before the frost is entirely 

 out of the ground. Wh"t
