SWEET PEAS 
Can be sown at any time from October to March; early planting will produce the best results. They require 
an open situation, good rich soil and plenty of water. Sow in drills, covering the seed about two inches deep 
or a trifle more m light soils. When about a foot high draw the earth up to the stems with a hoe. They 
should have brush, sticks or wire netting to climb over. By keeping the flowers gathered and any dead 
flowers cut off, the plants will bloom for a long period. 
Owing to the fact that the Sweet Pea seed crop was almost a total failure this season, the 
seed is very scarce; hence prices are higher than usual.
