Sweet Peas are one of the most fasci¬ 
nating flowers of all garden annuals. 
As climbing vines for screens, trellises, 
arbors, or individual columns taste¬ 
fully trained in the annual flower bor¬ 
der, they make a wonderful showing; 
and the cut blooms, with their long 
wiry stems, delicate fragrance, and 
great variety of fascinating shades, 
have a grace and individuality for table 
decoration that no other flower quite 
equals. 
How to Grow Fine Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas are of comparatively easy 
culture, if their requirements are taken 
into consideration. We can all grow 
tine Sweet Peas with lovely long stems 
if we will observe a few simple rules 
in their culture. 
First—Good seed. 
Second—Rich soil, deeply dug. 
Third—Early sowing. 
Fourth—Early staking. 
Fifth—Frequent fertilization to in¬ 
sure healthy, rapid and continuous 
growth. 
Sixth—Keep soil loose and porous. 
Fall preparation of ground is prefer¬ 
able but if this has not been done start 
as soon as the ground can be worked 
in the spring. 
Select an open sunny spot in the 
richest part of the garden and then 
apply a thick layer of pulverized Sheep 
Manure 18 inches wide. Remember 
that Sweet Peas are deep rooting plants 
so that the soil must be deeply and 
thoroughly worked. Spade the Sheep 
Manure in as deep as the fork will go 
and turn the soil over three or four 
times so that the manure becomes 
thoroughly mixed with it, then level, 
and your bed is ready for planting. 
Sow in double rows, that is, open two 
drills about 8 to 10 inches apart and 4 
to 5 inches deep and scatter the seed 
liberally, but not too thick (about one 
ounce to 15 running feet), then cover. 
The support for the plants to climb on 
is placed in the center of the two rows 
and should be in place by the time the 
plants are 2 inches high. 
Success with Sweet Peas necessitates 
a rapid, healthy and vigorous growth 
during the cool weather of April and 
early May. An application of Vigoro 
about May 1 will help the plants to 
get their growth during this cooler 
weather. 
Sweet Peas require sufficient plant 
food at all times, and you will find 
that a top dressing of Sheep Manure, 
Vigoro or Bono Meal applied regularly 
every two weeks and hoed in will help 
produce strong healthy vines. 
The flowers should be kept cut and 
all seed pods removed if it is desired 
to have a long season of them.
