All New 1938 Sweetpea Seed for Fall 1938 Planting 
Varieties tried and proven in the Salt River Valley and adapted to Arizona climatic conditions. 
Sweet Peas are probably the most popular flower in America. 
They are loved by everyone, both for their beautiful coloring and 
their delightful fragrance. For the best results we advise you to 
follow our instructions for planting. We offer the following in¬ 
structions according to our own method of planting. 
CULTURE—Avoid dense shade. Select a place in the open 
where the sun shines at least three-fourths of the day and where 
the vines may be trained on a trellis. Dig a trench about a foot 
or 18 inches wide and 18 inches deep. Place about six or eight 
inches of well-rotted manure on the bottom of the trench. Mix a 
liberal amount of manure with the soil that has been removed 
and replace it. After the soil has settled sufficiently, open a 
trench in the bed about six inches deep and plant one ounce of 
seed to about 20 to 25 feet of row. During the warm weather 
cover the seed about two to three inches deep and in cooler 
weather about one inch is sufficient. Care must be taken during 
warm weather not to rot the seed with moisture. After planting 
seed soak the trench thoroughly and follow with a liberal sprink¬ 
ling of peat moss or dried grass to prevent the surface soil from 
crusting. After the Peas have grown six or eight inches begin to 
draw the soil to them, gradually filling the trench. This will neces¬ 
sitate another trench on each side of the row, through which to 
water the vines during the rest of the season. A peat mulch 
around the plants will keep them in good growing condition. 
Frequent cultivation is also necessary. Keep them well watered 
and at blooming time keep the blossoms picked to insure a long 
growing season. Ask about our special fertilizer for Sweet Peas.

Inoculate Sweet Peas with 
NITRAGIN 
The Original Soil Inoculator 
Sweet peas are legumes—they 
need the nitrogen gathering 
legume germs. Few soils con¬ 
tain a natural supply. It is 
therefore necessary to inocu¬ 
late. Nitragin hastens maturity, 
increases yield, produces better 
flowers, adds fertility to the 
soil. 
GARDEN SIZE —enough to in¬ 
oculate several or more ounces 
of seed. Directions on every 
package. Price 15c, postpaid.
