NOTES ON SWEET PEA CULTURE 
The EARLY SPENCER varieties were originally developed for the florist 
trade, to be grown in greenhouses during the winter months where the summer 
flowering varieties do not do well. Besides this greenhouse use, however, they 
have proved themselves extremely valuable in the Southern States and in other 
countries with a mild climate. If sown in these mild sections in September they 
will bloom by Christmas. In the Northern States they are grown to advantage 
for cut flowers one or two weeks earlier than the late varieties, by sowing the seed 
as early in the spring as the soil can be worked thoroughly. 
LATE SPENCER varieties should be sown as early in the spring as the ground 
can be prepared. The soil should be rich, worked deeply, and with good drainage. 
Seeds should be covered about two inches deep with fine soil, and a light covering 
of straw is beneficial as a mulch for retaining moisture. Be sure to provide 
adequate support for the plants before they get too large.
