SWEET PEAS 
Planting Guide 
Dig a trench 2 feet deep and 18 to 20 inches wide. Refill the trench 
with cow manure mixed with soil to within 6 inches of the top. In the 
__ top 6 inches, as you replace the soil, mix it with our special sweet pea 
es food at the rate of 1 pound to every 3 feet. Soak the trench thoroughly, 
_ and leave for two or three days. Then cultivate lightly, and plant the 
seed 1 inch deep, and about 1 inch apart, using 1 ounce of seed to 25 
_ feet of row. When plants appear, thin out to 4 inches. 
Inoculation while not absolutely necessary, is beneficial in promoting 
healthy green growth.
