SWEET PEAS 
Cultural Directions —For early spring flow¬ 
ers, sow Sweet Peas in the fall, October, 
November and December. For late flow¬ 
ering they can be planted any time during 
the winter or spring. Prepare the ground 
by working from 18 to 24 inches deep. 
Give the ground liberal dressing of ma¬ 
nure and bone meal. 
Set the seeds not over 2 inches deep and 
2 inches apart in a firm bed; do not plant 
seeds in loose soil. When the plants are 
out of the ground, thin from 6 to 12 inches 
apart. Give the young plants good sup¬ 
port, so they can climb 4 to 6 feet high— 
in this way they produce nice, long stems. 
In hot weather, water frequently. For 
large flowers apply liquid manure about 
once a week. Pick flowers daily (even 
poorest flowers) as this prolongs the flow¬ 
ering season.
