PAYNE'S 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 2" deep or a trifle more in 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.
