Beautiful Sweet Peas 
To grow Sweet Peas successfully it is necessary to plant EARLY and give plenty of moisture. They should 
go in the ground as soon as the ground can be worked and should be planted six inches deep, being covered at 
lirst with only two inches of soil, the trench being filled as the plants grow. It is best to soak the seeds for 
several hours before they are planted. If this plan of planting early is followed, and if the Sweet Peas are 
kept mulched with peat moss, lawn clippings or else watered abundantly, they will certainly give a fine crop 
of lovely flowers held in admiration by every flower lover. The mixture we give you below will give you color 
in profusion and is well worth your consideration.
