LARGE-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
A deep, rich, moist soil is best suited to Sweet Peas. They are usually grown in double 
rows, with a wire trellis, or a row of brush between. For each double row make the drills 
about five inches deep, and nine or ten inches apart. Sow plentifully, covering about two 
inches deep, and by degrees, as the vines grow up, 1111 the trenches with soil. Spring sowings 
should be made just as early as the ground can be prepared ; frost does not hurt the little 
seedlings. The earliest, flowers are from seed sown in the fall, preferably in a dry situation, 
and four or five inches deep, giving them level culture. As fertilizer, a liberal use of bone 
meal worked into the soil will give excellent results.
