SWEET PEAS 
SPECIAL SPENCER SWEET PEAS. We recommend 
the following method when planting sweet peas for best 
results. Prepare a bed near a fence or where you can 
build a trellis. Spade the soil, which has been mulched 
with peat moss or good loamy soil, very deeply. Dig a 
trench about eight inches deep and place a layer about 
one-sixteenth of an inch thick of some good commercial 
fertilizer in the bottom. 
Sweet Peas 
Now cover this fertilizer about three inches and place 
the seed thereon about one inch apart in the row. Cover 
the seed with mellow soil about one inch. When the plants 
come up gradually bank the soil to the plants, leaving a 
few leaves stick out. Continue until plants are well above 
the surface. For further information, please ask us.
