Sweet Peas 
The most important point to consider 
in cultivating Sweet Peas is to have good 
rich soil and sow the seed very early in 
the spring. Dig a trench one foot wide 
and as deep, fill with six inches of well- 
rotted manure and replace the soil. Sow 
the seed in a drill one inch deep. Sweet 
Peas require plenty of moisture and cool 
growing conditions. The Spencer Sweet 
Peas are the best type to grow, the 
stems are longer and the flowers better 
developed. All the following varieties 
are the improved Spencer type.
