PLANT 
SWEET PEAS 
EARLY 
The common practice in planting Sweet Peas is to dig 
a small trench six inches deep and drop the seed, 
covering as the plant grows until the trench is filled. 
This puts the root well down and keeps the plant moist. 
A small amount of commercial fertilizer or well-rotted 
stable manure mixed well with the soil is advantage¬ 
ous. As the plant grows put in brush or chicken wire 
for support and keep it well irrigated. 
Sweet Peas are thirsty plants and should never be 
denied water. The real secret of success in planting and 
growing Sweet Peas is to get them in early. They may 
be safely planted as soon as the ground is ready to 
work but they rarely, if ever, succeed well if planted 
late. 
During the blooming season all the flowers should be 
picked as the plant will cease blossoming as soon as 
the seed pods are set. 
1 Ounce will sow 25 feet of row, the seeds dropped 
every Vz inch. 
Ruffled Giants — The main difference in, this type is thg 
waviness and extra frillness of the flowers. This im¬ 
parts a double appearance to the large wavy blos¬ 
soms which extends fully even to the edges of the
