SWEET PEAS.—Sweet peas are rela¬ 
tively hardy. They may be planted very 
early in spring or late in the fall. They 
do best in well fertilized soil, and they 
need considerable watering on warm days 
when evaporation is likely to be high. As 
soon as the vines are four inches tall, they 
need support. It is also of great importance 
to give the plants plenty of room, thinning 
them to’not less than six inches apart.
