SWEET PEAS 
EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 
Sweet Peas require a disease free, well aerated soil to which ample amounts of organic matter have been incor- 
porated before planting. Many growers have found that steam sterilizing the soil and then leaching heavily with 
cold water has given very good results. Only well grown crops are profitable, and only long stemmed Sweet Peas 
are finding a ready market. 
The results of experiments show that bud drop is more prevalent when the growth is soft and vegetative. With- 
holding the moisture during the short days has proven beneficial. 
Sweet Peas do not require high amounts of fertilizer. In fact, if the nitrate nitrogen is about medium, better re- 
sults can be expected. 
Good Winter crops may be grown successfully on raised benches but, for the spring crop we heartily recommend 
ground beds.

SPRING FLOWERING 
This new class of Sweet Pea is a worthwhile addition. November Ist sowing will start flowering in early April and 
will continue to bloom on longer stems than early flowered varieties sown the same date. This new class is only 
recommended for sowings after November Ist; also used for out of doors sowing.
