IN THE SOUTH AND WHERE WINTERS ARE MILD, SWEET PEAS DO BEST WHEN SOWN IN THE FALL. 



The sweet Pea is a cool weather loving plant and therefore for best results in the South, on the Pacific Coast and in other mild winter localities, the seeds should 

 be sown in the fall or early winter; Even in the North the sowing of Sweet Peasin the fall is growingin popularity. When they are successfully earned through 

 the winter they commence flowering much earlier and are larger, finer and more continuous bloomers than from spring sown seeds particularly when summer 

 weather turns out hot and dry. The reason is that the plants from fall sown seeds develop a much better root system and therefore are less susceptible to uncongenial 

 conditions. Sweet Peas sown in the fall should be in raised beds or banked up if in rows so water will not stagnate around them as it might cause them to rot 

 and the seeds should be put in late enough so the seedlings will not get above ground— yet early enough so the seeds will germinate which will require about z weeKs. 

 After the ground has a thin frozen crust then protect with a 6-inch mulch of straw, hay, leaves or similar material.

Early and Winter^Flowering Sweet Peas, 



A distinct class that has become popular for greenhouse forcing. They begin 

 flowering in from 8 to 12 weeks from seed sowing and flower continuously for 

 weeks. The flowers are of fine size on long stems. Grown in the garden they 

 are of dwarf bushy growth and flower very early, but the flowers are smaller.
