Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting-. The soil where they are to be 
planted should be dug to a depth of eighteen inches. They are also 
gross feeders and a liberal amount of fertilizer will insure lux¬ 
uriant growth and large flowers. Dig the fertilizer well under and 
see that the soil has settled and is firm before the seeds are 
planted. This result can be quickly obtained by tramping and 
watering. The seeds are usually sown in shallow trenches about 
three inches deep and covered only 1 or 1% inches. The balance 
of the earth is filled in after the young plants have grown a few 
inches. 
SPENCER VARIETIES 
The Spencers have large waved flowers which are pro¬ 
duced abundantly on long strong stems, making the blos¬ 
soms most desirable for cutting. The plants of Spencer va¬ 
rieties when grown outdoors are usually in bloom longer 
than other Sweet Peas, as most of the blossoms fall off 
after maturity without setting pods. A characteristic of 
Spencers is an “open keel.’’
