Sweet Peas 
The popularity of Sweet Peas is demonstrated by the many and beautiful varieties that are intro¬ 
duced each year. Our list includes all the best up-to-date varieties. 
Sow as early as the ground can be prepared in a rich, moist soil, in drills 6 inches deep, covering 
about 2 inches. As the vines grow, fill up the trenches with soil and thin out to about 4 or 5 inches 
apart. A popular plan at the present time is to sow in double rows with a trellis or a row of brush 
between. One-quarter of a pound of seed will sow fifty feet.
