Sweet Peas 
Varieties Tried and Proven in the Salt River Valley and 
Adapted to Arizona Climatic Conditions. 
Sweet Peas are probably the most popular flower in 
America. They are loved by everyone, both for their 
beautiful coloring - and their delightful fragrance. For 
the best results we advise you to follow our instruc¬ 
tions for planting. We offer the following instructions 
according to our own method of planting. 
CULTURE—Avoid dense shade. Select a place in 
the open where the sun shines at least three-fourths 
of the day and where the vines may be trained on a 
trellis. Dig a trench about a foot or 18 inches wide 
and 18 inches deep. Place about six or eight inches 
of well-rotted manure on the bottom of the trench. Mix 
a liberal amount of manure with the soil that has 
been removed and replace it. After the soil has 
settled sufficiently, open a trench in the bed about 
six inches deep and plant one ounce of seed to 
about 20 to 25 feet of row. During the warm 
weather cover the seed about two to three inches 
deep and in cooler weather about one inch is suf¬ 
ficient. Care must be taken during warm weather 
not to rot the seed with moisture. After planting 
seed soak the trench thoroughly and follow with a 
liberal sprinkling of manure or dried grass to pre¬ 
vent the surface soil from crusting. After the 
Peas have grown six or eight inches begin to draw 
the soil to them, gradually filling the trench. This 
will necessitate another trench on each side of the 
row, through which to water the vines during the 
rest of the season. A manure mulch around the 
plants will keep them in good growing condition. 
Frequent cultivation is also necessary. Keep them 
will watered and at blooming time keep the blos¬ 
soms picked to insure a long growing season.
