As some imagine, Sweet Peas are not difficult to raise. But first a 
word about the varieties of this year. All that are listed are the be 3 t 
possible colors and have nice long stems for cutting. The colors are fine 
without any repetition, as has been the case in years before. I am sure 
that you will be very much pleased with them. 
Now a word about the cultural directions. First of all, there are 
three plants in a pot, well grown and ready to plant out. When they are 
planted do not separate each individual plant but plant the whole contents 
of each pot. This way you will have nice bushy plants and furthermore they 
do not like to be divided. Almost any good garden soil will do with a little 
extra preparation. For a double row, which is best, dig a trench two feet 
wide and twelve to eighteen inches deep. In replacing the soil, incorporate 
plenty of humus in the form of well rotted manure. Add a little lime and 
mix these two as the trench is refillod. Pack the soil well when refilling 
to stamp out any air pockets. When you set the plants firm them down well 
for the same reason. Be careful not to break the roots. Plant contents of 
each pot 12-15 inches apart. Be sure they get plenty of water as they like 
it. Spray with Nicitime solution if Aphids appear. Place supports before 
planting so they can 3tart right on clinibing. They should bloom a good port 
of the early summer if proper care is taken of them and they get plenty of 
water. Remember the earlier you plant them the earlier the blooms and more 
of them.
