FLOWER SEEDS 
SWEET PEAS 
SWEET PEAS (A) 
Culture: A deep, rich, cool soil is best 
suited for the growth of Sweet Peas. We 
find they do best in partly shaded localities. 
The ground should be worked or dug to a 
depth of 1 foot and mixed with bone meal, 
or well rotted stable manure, leaving a 
hollow 3 inches deep for the seedbed. Sweet 
Peas should not be grown on the same soil 
longer than three successive years. If the 
location cannot be changed, the soil to a depth and width 
of a foot or more should be removed and replaced with 
soil from another part of the garden or grounds. Sow 
early, covering about 1 inch deep. The early flowering 
Spencer should be planted just as soon as the ground can 
be worked, the middle of March is not too early. The Late 
Flowering Spencer can be sown any time from the 17th 
of March until 25th of April. After the plants are 2 
inches high, cultivate as they grow and a slight sprinkling 
of commercial fertilizer worked into the soil will be of 
great benefit. When the plants are about 5 inches high 
some support should be furnished, such as brush, strings, 
wire netting, etc. One ounce of seed will plant 10 feet of 
drill. Pick daily. Do not let seed pods form. 
EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER 
A new race of Sweet Peas, bearing the large, waved 
flowers on long stems same as the standard late Spencers, 
but these bloom three weeks earlier and continue to flower 
for a longer period. Especially recommended for sections 
with short seasons. (See culture directions above.) This 
group of Sweet Peas should have more attention from the 
home gardener as it is the easiest variety to grow. After 
careful trials we have selected the following varieties as 
being the best and most satisfactory in their class.

1331— Ely Giant. Rose.
