SWEET PEAS 
Our Sweet Peas are unsurpassed, having been selected from the. finest strains of American and 
English growers, and include all the improved large-flowering varieties of recent introduction. Seeds 
should be sown as early as possible, in good, rich soil, in trenches 8 inches deep ; cover about an inch, 
and as they grow draw up the earth around them until the trench is full, taking care not to cover the 
plants ; give plenty of moisture and a sunny situation. The flowers should be cut before seeds begin 
to form. 
The first sowing of Sweet Peas may be made very early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out 
of the ground. For a succession, some should be sown every few weeks afterwards. For fall flowering 
they may be sown as late as July. Then again they may be sown late in the fall for very early blooming 
the following spring, but in that case a dry situation is preferable, and they should be sown 4 or 5 inches 
deep, and not in the trench method.
