Sweet Peas 
SWEET PEAS 
The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep. A good 
rich loam, with plenty of well-rotted manure in it, is the 
ideal soil for raising good plants that will produce plenty 
of blooms. Seed should be sown as early in the season as the 
ground can be worked, which is usually between the mid¬ 
dle of March and the middle of April in the latitude of 
Baltimore. It is best to dig a trench about 6 inches deep, 
in the bottom of which sow the seed. Cover with about 
an inch of soil, pressing it down firmly. As soon as they 
are above the ground thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart. They 
should be staked up with brush or wire about 4 feet high. 
During dry weather water frequently.
