SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting. The soil where they are to be planted should be 
dug to a depth of 18 inches. They are also gross feeders and a liberal amount 
of fertilizer will insure luxuriant growth and large flowers. Dig the fertilizer 
well under and see that the soil has settled and is firm before the seeds are 
planted. This result can be quickly obtained by tramping and watering. The 
seeds are usually sown in shallow trenches about 3 inches deep and covered only 
1 or 1^ inches. The balance of the earth is filled in after the young plants have 
grown a few inches.
