RIBSAM’S GIANT FLOWERING 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
As soon as the frost is out of the ground in 
the Spring and the soil is in a workable con¬ 
dition, sow the seed in trenches 2 to 3 inches 
deep and 1 inch apart. Thin out the plants 
so they will stand 4 to 6 inches apart. Sweet 
Peas are heavy feeders—liquid manure applied 
once a week will be beneficial. Sweet Peas 
may also be sown in the Autumn, covering 
the bed with a heavy mulch over Winter, re¬ 
moving it very early before the frost is 
entirely out of the ground.
