CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS 
Dig a wide trench to a depth of 12 inches and after 
breaking up the bottom of trench fill in with several 
inches of peat or leaf mold to which add a liberal 
amount of bone meal; fill in the balance of the trench 
with good top soil. Tamp the soil down firmly and 
water thoroughly to the base. Let stand a few days 
until moderately moist. Never put the seed in too wet 
soil. Pulverize the surface well by raking, make rows 
and plant seed about one inch deep, and two inches 
apart. Do not water until all the seed is up, at least 
half an inch out of the soil. Sweet Pea seed sown dur¬ 
ing hot weather should be shaded with muslin or a 
mulch of loose straw or twigs, to keep the soil cool 
and prevent decay of the seed. 
Thin out to at least six inches apart and train on 
wire netting or strings when plants are five or six 
inches high. Applications of Sweet Pea Food during 
flowering period will add to the length of stem and 
size of blossoms. Keep well cultivated and water only 
as needed during the blooming period, as excessive 
moisture will cause the buds to drop.
