THE GRAND JUNCTION SEED CO., Grand Junction, Colorado 
Sweet Peas 
Locate your planting where there will be uninterrupted 
sunlight, in as good soil as possible. For the finest blooms, 
dig a trench about 20 inches deep, fill in this trench 
with alternate layers of soil and well rotted manure. 
Sweet Peas should he planted as early as the ground 
can be worked, light frost will not hurt them. Sow 
the seeds in a double row, about 4 inches between seeds, 
don’t crowd them. Plant not less than 2 inches deep 
and draw the soil up to the plants when they are about 
3 inches high. Vining support should be supplied early, 
preferably at time of planting. To get the best colors 
add a little fine charcoal to the soil. Water freely. The 
more you cut the flowers off the more they will bloom, 
keep on cutting.
