Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas owe their enormous popularity to their delicious fragrance and captivat¬ 
ing grace. They have little or no merit for garden decoration and few or no superiors 
as cut-flowers. The plants are vines which may reach 5 to 6 feet. Their flowers are borne 
on long, stiff stems from the axils of the leaves, in clusters of three or four. Much effort 
and enthusiasm have been devoted to improving Sweet Peas, and the modern varieties 
which we offer here exemplify the advance which has been made. All inferior varieties 
have been discarded, and only the best of the new retained. Our customers may depend 
on getting only the very finest largest-flowering varieties. It is important that Sweet 
Peas should be planted early in deeply prepared soil. Late March or early April is an 
excellent time. The seed should be sown at the bottom of a 6-inch trench which is filled 
in as the seedlings grow, thus insuring that the roots lie deep in the cool soil. They 
should be cultivated regularly, watered during dry weather, and the flowers should be 
religiously picked every day in order to prevent the formation of seed. It will pay to 
inoculate the seed with Noa-o-gen before sowing.
