SUMMER ^ ^ lliEj 1 JT JLii-lO Per Ounce) 
In our latitude, or where hot summers are not relieved by cool nights, 
summer peas are usually destroyed by mid-July. For this reason a Spring 
sowing usually gets in too late to be profitable. For 25 consecutive years, 
we have grown a profitable crop out doors by sowing the seed indoors not 
later than February 1, growing into 3 inch pot plants and planting out 
around mid-April. We protect them against freezes and heavy frosts after 
this date with a V-shaped protection made by nailing two 6 inch cypress 
hoards together. With all the overhead water they will stand and 5 foot 
high wire and string supports, we have them in crop by June 15th. Two 
weeks of heavy June picking assures us a nice profit for the greenhouse 
crops are usually thru at that time and the demand for peas is active until 
the 1st day of July. But this outdoor crop must he sprayed weekly for 
aphis until they get in flower. Most failures with this crop are due to not 
watching this point. 
Another use for this class is planting a few with late or after mum 
planted earlies. The early class will climb straight up while this late flower¬ 
ing class will break freely from about the base not getting up to interfere 
with the earlies until this class is weakening or exhausted. This combina¬ 
tion will double the number of flowers but it will of course hold up the 
bed nearly a month longer. All our sweet pea seed, both early and late, is 
treated with copper oxide, also known as Cuprocide. Thru repeated experi¬ 
ments we know that this treatment destroys rot that might otherwise de¬ 
stroy the seed. We will, of course, supply this seed untreated if requested.
