Our Giant Orchid-Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
Plant September to June 
How to Grow Sweet Peas Successfully 
Prepare the soil with a liberal dressing of our spe¬ 
cially prepared Sunset Fertilizer. See page 47. Sweet 
Peas are heavy feeders. The soil should be deeply dug 
and thoroughly mixed with the Fertilizer. Make a 
trench about 5 to 6 inches deep, planting the seeds 3 
to 4 inches apart and covering them 1 inch deep with 
good soil. After planting, tread the soil lightly over 
the seeds or firm it with any suitable implement. 
Thoroughly soak the bed, and remember to keep it 
always moist, as any dryness after seeds germinate 
is fatal. 
When the plants are 6 inches high, pinch out an 
inch or so of the top to make them husky and sturdy. 
Gradually fill in the trench to insure deep-rooted, 
drought-resistant plants that will bear magnificent, 
large, long-stemed flowers. Five-foot common chicken 
wire, neatly stretched, is an ideal trellis but strings 
or small boughs can be used.
