Sweet Peas—Fluffy Ruffles 
Sweet Peas are one of the most fasci¬ 
nating flowers of all garden annuals. 
The blooms, with their long wiry 
stems, delicate fragrance, and great 
variety of fascinating shades, have a 
grace and individuality for table dec¬ 
oration that no other flower quite 
equals. 
How to Grow Fine Sweet Peas 
We can all grow fine Sweet Peas 
with lovely long stems if we will ob¬ 
serve a few simple rules in their cul¬ 
ture. 
First—good seed. Second—Rich soil, 
deeply dug. Third—Early sowing. 
Fourth—Early staking. Fifth — Fre¬ 
quent fertilization to insure healthy, 
rapid and continuous growth. Sixth— 
Keep soil loose and porous. 
Select an open sunny spot In the 
richest part of the garden and then 
apply a thick layer of pulverised Sheep 
Manure 18 inches wide. Remember 
that Sweet Peas are deep rooting plants 
so that the soil must be deeply and 
thoroughly worked. Spade the Sheep 
Manure in as deep as the fork will go 
and turn the soil over three or four 
times so that the manure becomes 
thoroughly mixed with it, then level, 
and your bed is ready for planting. 
Sow in double rows, that is, open two 
drills about 8 to 10 inches apart and 4 
to 5 inches deep and scatter the seed 
liberally, but not too thick (about one 
ounce to 16 running feet), then cover. 
The support for the plants to climb on 
is placed in the center of the two rows 
and should be in place by the time the 
plants are 2 Inches high. 
Success with Sweet Peas necessitates 
a rapid, healthy and vigorous growth 
during the cool weather of April and 
early May. An application of Vigoro 
about May 1 will help the plants to 
get their growth during this cooler 
weather. 
Sweet Peas require sufficient plant 
food at all times, and you will find 
that a top dressing of Sheep Manure, 
Vigoro or Bone Meal applied regularly 
every two weeks and hoed in will help 
produce strong healthy vines.
