SWEET PEAS 
Cultural Directions 
Cultural Directions — For early spring flowers, sow 
Sweet Peas in the fall, October, November and Decem¬ 
ber. 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 in 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 godo support, 
so they can climb 4 to 6 feet high—in this way they 
produce nice, long stems. In hot weather, water fre¬ 
quently. For large flowers apply liquid manure about 
once a week. Pick flowers daily (even poorest flow¬ 
ers) as this prolongs the flowering season.
