Sweet Peas 
Cultural Directions —For early spring flowers, 
sow Sweet Peas in the fall. October. November 
and December. 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 on 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 good support, so they can climb 4 to G feet 
high—in this way, they produce nice, long stems. 
In hot weather, water frequently. For large 
flowers apply liquid manure about once a week. 
Pick flowers daily (even poorest flowers) as this 
I)i-olongs the flowering season. 
Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas
