SWEET PEAS 
Sweet peas are today considered one of the leading flowers. Can be planted in trenches 
in November, covering lightly with soil or pulverized manure. This method will produce flowers 
in June. Spring sowings should be made as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, 
even February is not too early. The Spencer type is by far the best, being large, free blooming 
and more artistic.
