SWEET PEAS 



FALL PLANTING. A better growth of vines and earlier blooming often result from planting seeds in the fall instead of early 

 spring. If a well drained sandy soil is selected this method may usually be depended upon to give satisfactory results even in the 

 Northern states. 



Preparation of the soil is the same as that for spring planting. The seeds should be sown about an inch or two apart in rows 

 about three inches deep, and firmly covered with soil which should be somewhat ridged above the rows to improve drainage. The 

 most important point in fall planting of Sweet Peas is to plant late enough so that plants will not appear above the surface of the 

 soil before freezing weather sets in. Plantings are usually made in the latitude of Detroit from the 1st to the 15th of November. 

 After the ground freezes the rows should be covered with a mulch of litter or manure. Upon approach of warm weather in the 

 spring the rows should be examined and if plants have started the mulch maybe removed either wholly or in part, leaving it between 

 the rows or near at hand so that it may be replaced in case of a cold wave or sudden change of temperature. 



SPRING FLOWERING SPENCER VARIETIES 



A comparatively new class of Sweet Peas that is rapidly becoming prominent for winter flowering indoors. The flowers arc- 

 large, of the same form as the Spencers and are beautifully waved or frilled. They remain in bloom for a much longer time than the 

 Early Flowering Grandiflora sorts. When planted out of doors they will commence blooming a month or more earlier than the 

 later flowering varieties planted at the same time.
