_Early- or Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas_ 
Popular as greenhouse subjects, they may be sown also in the garden in spring for earliest bloom outdoors. They are particularly adapted 
to sections where the Summer-flowering Spencer varieties have not proved satisfactory. In our southern states, if sown during the early fall 
months, they will produce flowers during the winter and continue until killed by the heat of summer.

_Summer-Flowering Sweet Peas_ 
For Growing in the Garden 
CuLTURi^ ground can be worked in the spring. Dig a trench about a foot wide and deep, and fill in with 6 inches 
of well-rotted stable manure; tread down firmly and replace the good garden soil. Draw a single straight line in the middle of the prepared 
surface about M inch deep; sow seed at even distances of about 3 inches, and cover. When the plants grow about 3 or 4 inches high, thin 
6 inches froin each other. As soon as the vines reach a height of alxiut 8 inches, proper supports should be provided. 
The Sweet Pea is a moisture-loving plant, and by the month of May the plants will require water. Dress with Mulch-o-Nure, old stable 
manure, Sawconure or peat moss and soak well as needed.
