Giant Spencer Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas 
Varieties tried and proven in the Salt River Valley 
and adapted to Arizona climatic conditions. 
Sweet Peas are probably the most popular flower in America. They are loved by 
everyone, both for their beautiful coloring and their delightful fragrance. For the best 
results we advise you to follow our Instructions for planting. We offer the following 
instructions according to our own method of planting. 
CULTURE — Avoid dense shade. Select a place in the open where the sun shines 
at least three-fourths of the day and where the vines may be trained on a trellis. Dig 
a trench about a foot or 18 inches wide and 18 inches deep. Place about six or eight 
inches of well-rotted manure on the bottom of the trench. Mix a liberal amount of 
manure with the soil that has been removed and replace it. After the soil has settled 
sufficiently, open a trench in the bed about six inches deep and plant one ounce of 
seed to about 20 to 25 feet of row. During the warm weather cover the seed about two 
to three inches deep and in cooler weather about one inch is sufficient. Care must be 
taken during warm weather not to rot the seed wih moisture. After planting seed soak 
the trench thoroughly and follow wih a liberal sprinkling of manure or dried grass to 
prevent the surface soil from crusting. After the Peas have grown six or eight inches 
begin to draw the soil to them, gradually filling the trench. This will necessitate an¬ 
other trench on each side of the row, through which to water the vines during the rest 
of the season. A manure mulch around the plants will keep them in good growing con¬ 
dition. Frequent cultiation is also necessary. Keep them well watered and at blooming 
time keep the blossoms picked to Insured a long growing season. Ask about our special 
fertilizer for Sweet Peas.
