NEW VARIETIES OF SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
GIANT SPENCER SWEET 
PEAS — We recommend the 
following method of planting 
Sweet Peas: Prepare a bed 
near a fence or where you 
can build a trellis. Spade the 
soil, which has been mulched 
with peat moss or good 
loamy soil, very deeply. Dig 
a trench about eight inches 
deep and place a layer about 
one-sixteenth of an inch thick 
of some good commercial fer¬ 
tilizer in the bottom. 
Now cover this fertilizer 
about two inches and place 
the seed theeron about one 
inch apart in the row. Cover 
the seed with mellow soil 
about one inch. When the 
plants come up, gradually 
bank the soil to the plants, 
leaving a few leaves st>ck 
out. Continue until plants 
are well above the surface. 
Please ask us for further in¬ 
formation.
