LATE or SUMMER SWEET PEAS 
T HIS late flowering or original class will do well in nearly every section of America if we know their re¬ 
quirements and treat them accordingly. With the coming of hot weather they weaken so the crop must be 
made before such weather sets in. This calls for the earliest possible start. In the Northern States sow out¬ 
doors in well-drained soil, before it freezes. Cover the surface soil some to prevent washing and alternate 
thawing and freezing. A more dependable plan is to sow in the greenhouse about February 1st, pot in 3 inch 
early in March and plant out when hard frosts are over. Such a start flowers heavily in June and early July. 
South of the Ohio River, if sown out in October, and well started, they can usually be wintered with some pro¬ 
tection. The early kind can be sown to advantage in the greenhouse up to February 15th. In the row with this 
late sowing of Earlies should go some of the late kind. They will not climb up with the Earlies but branch 
quite freely at the base. As the Earlies become exhausted, the Lates push up and over-grow them, producing 
a heavy long-stemmed crop, that lasts well into June if shaded some and watered freely. Remember that 
aphis and hot weather are the arch enemies of Sweet Peas. (*) Starred varieties we find the most desirable.
