 Sweet Peas 



CULTIVATION 



Christmas-flowering Sweet Peas should not be sown too thick, about one 

 ounce to 25 feet is sufficient. Thin out to about 3 inches apart wlien plants are 

 6 inches high ; if wanted for Christmas, sow before the end of August ; if wanted 

 during January, February and March, about the middle of September; if wanted for 

 Easter, about the first of November. For a successful growing, a temperature of 40 to 

 45 degrees at night and 10 degrees higher in the day is considered best. Watch out 

 for red spider, thrip and green fly. Feed when plants are in full bloom.
