SWEET PEAS, New Early Flowering Spencers 
CULTURE—Sweet Peas do best in good, rich soil that is 
inclined to be a little clayey. Pall is the best time to prepare 
the soil, especially if manure is used. Pea vines like moist soil 
and often the heat originated by the manure combined with 
the heat from the sun is too much for the vines. They turn 
yellow and die. Use a good commercial fertilizer or else apply 
the manure in the fall. Dig a trench a foot deep and about 16 
inches wide and mix in this about 6 inches of top soil with 
good manure or commercial fertilizer. Plant the seeds in this 
trench in two rows, dropping the seeds about 2 inches apart. 
Cover 2 inches deep and then gradually fill the trench as the 
plants grow. The trench should be made so that water will 
drain off. The seed should be planted just as early in the 
spring as possible, as late sowing produces rank growth but 
few flowers. Provide a trellis, wire or brush for the vines to 
climb on and pick the flowers every day. An application of 
bone meal and nitrate of soda will hasten the blooming time. 
If you want your sweet peas to do wonderfully well use 
Nitragin. Garden size, 10c. 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
Plant the Spencer varieties and have the best. The seeds 
cost a little more but they require no more land nor labor and 
the flowers are much larger and much more beautiful. If you 
will try the Spencers you will be pleased.
