The Rocky Mountain Seed Co., Denver, Colo. 
Cu/nAi Daoc Early planting and plenty of mois- 
1 ture are the secrets of growing 
Sweet Peas successfully. Sweet Peas are among the seeds 
to he sown as soon as the soil can be worked, and should 
be planted 6 inches deep, being covered at first with only 
2 inches of soil, the trench being Ailed as the plants grow. 
This method will give them a well-developed root system. 
Thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart as soon as they are above 
the ground. They should be staked up on stout stakes, 
on which wire netting has been fastened. These should 
be at least 4 feet high. Do not allow the roots to become 
dry; water at least twice a week. Gather Sweet Pea 
blooms frequently; the more you cut them the better and 
longer they bloom.
