SWEET PEAS 
Cultural Directions 
For early spring flowers, sow Sweet Peas in the 
fall, October, November and December. For late 
flowering they can be planted any time during 
the winter or spring. Prepare the ground by 
working from 18 to 24 inches deep. Give the 
ground liberal dressing of manure and bone 
meal. 
Set the seeds not over 2 inches deep and 2 
inches apart on a firm bed; do not plant seeds 
in loose soil. When the plants are out of the 
ground, thin from 6 to 12 inches apart. Give the 
young plants good support, so they can climb 4 
to 6 feet high—in this way they produce nice, 
long stems. In hot weather, water frequently. 
For large flowers apply liquid manure about 
once a week. Pick flowers daily (even poorest 
flowers) as this prolongs the flowering season. 
This is one of the most famous and beautiful garden 
annuals. Large spikes of double rosette-like blossoms 
are of a rich spicy fragrance. These plants like a rich 
lime soil, and for best results should be planted early. 
Continuous growth without interruption during a cool 
season will give best results. Stocks are splendid 
plants for cut flowers, and furnish a vivid display in a 
wide color range in bedding work.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE — This is an outstanding new

and richness in color of Pinkie, plus the dainty frilled

and more beautiful than Pinkie. The flowers are the 
largest we have seen on any Sweet I?ea, and it has 
long stems with four very large blooms on each stem. 
This new Sweet Pea is so charming and dainty that 
it deserved a most appropriate name, so with kind 
permission it was named in honor of the charming 
and lovely little cinema favorite, Shirley Temple.
