SWEET PEAS 



Splendid success may be obtained from sowing Sweet Peas in October or November. 

 A perfectly drained soil so situated as not to be subject to too frequent or severe freezing 

 should be selected, and the seed covered about three inches deep. While you cannot be 

 sure of success from fall sowing, yet it is worth while to, take the risk for the advantage 

 of having blooms about a month earlier than you could get them from outdoor sowings 

 made in the spring.
