Sweet Peas Flourish in the South 
NICHOLSON'S SWEET PEAS 
(Inoculate Sweet Peas with Nitragin Before Planting) 
Seed should be sown in October, November, January and February. Have the dirt drawn 
toward the Peas or some brush or straw put along each side of rows during severe weather. 
This will protect them and you will have Peas in bloom early in the spring. To have best 
results with Sweet Peas it is a good idea to dig a trench about 10 to 15 inches deep and 
about 6 inches across. Fill this trench with rich soil to within & inches of the top, then plant 
the Sweet Peas thinly in the trench, covering them about two inches deep. As the Sweet 
Peas begin to grow the trench can be gradually filled up. If the Peas are too thick, thin 
them out. After they have a good start, a trellis of some! kind should be used so that the 
Peas can have something to climb on. In order to have the peas bloom a long time, the 
flowers should be gathered regularly and given plenty of water during the flowering season.

ECKFORD'S SWEET PEAS 
This is the old-fashioned type of Sweet 
Peas. Produces more flowers than the Spen¬ 
cers, but the flowers are a little smaller and 
less waved, and the stems are shorter.

PERENNIAL SWEET PEAS 
(Everlasting Sweet Pea.) These Peas, al¬ 
though lacking in fragrance, are very valu¬ 
able because of the fact that they are peren¬ 
nials. The vine comes up from the roots 
every spring, growing vigorously, often from 
8 to 10 feet, and produces a mass of beau¬ 
tiful flowers all during summer, which are 
fin© for cut flowers.

It is certainly an, inspiration 
and pleasure to stroll through a 
garden of beautiful flowers, 
with their colorful blooms. Each 
bud or bloom seems to have its 
particular point of beauty. We 
should be grateful to Nature 
for giving us such expressions 
of charm and loveliness.
