LIEFGREEN’S GIANT SPENCER SWEET PEAS 

LIEFGREEN’S GIANT EARLY 
FLOWERING SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
Plant the Early Flowering type sweet peas in the early fall and 
winter months for early winter and early spring blooming. Again early 
in the spring months for later spring blooming. This type sweet pea 
blooms from four to six weeks earlier than the Spring Flowering 
Spencers. The plant starts climbing immediately after germination. We 
offer the very latest and finest types adaptable to Arizona climate. 
How to Grow Sweet Peas 
SWEET PEAS are so well known they need 
no description. We offer only the Giant Flow- 
ering Spencer strain in both the Early Flow- 
ering and the Spring Flowering types. 
CULTURE: Sow seed in a location that re- 
ceives morning and early afternoon sun. Seed 
may be planted from early fall to early spring. 
Dig a trench about a foot wide and deep and 
fill in with 6 inches of well-rotted manure. Mix 
a liberal amount of manure with the soil that 
has been removed and replace it. Flood bed 
thoroughly and allow to stand several days 
before planting seed. After the soil has set- 
tled sufficiently, open a trench in the bed about 
6 inches deep and plant ONE OUNCE of seed 
to about 20 or 25 feet of row. During the warm 
weather cover seed about 2 or 3 inches deep 
and in cooler weather about 1 inch is suffi- 
cient. CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING WARM 
WEATHER NOT TO ROT THE SEED WITH 
TOO MUCH MOISTURE. After planting seed 
soak the trench thoroughly and cover top with 
a light mulch of peat moss to prevent the sur- 
face soil from drying out and cracking. When 
the plants are up about 3 or 4 inches thin out 
to about 4 inches apart and begin drawing 
the earth to the plant to insure a deep root 
system. This makes a trench on each side of 
the plant along which the plant is watered. 
Provide a trellis or proper support as the vines 
attain great height. Frequent cultivation, wa- 
ter as needed after plants are up and occa- 
sional applications of Sweet Pea Food or a 
good all-purpose commercial fertilizer, will in- 
sure a profusion of lovely blooms. A long 
blooming season may be had by keeping the 
blossoms picked.
