Easily Grown... 
Select a location, preferably which re- 
ceives abundant morning sun, and is some- 
what protected from warm afternoon sun. 
This will prolong the flowering season, and 
induce longer stem formation. The sweet 
pea is a deep rooted plant, and does best 
in a deep firm soil. The ground should be 
thoroughly spaded or drenched to a depth 
of 2 feet. 
material, such as our specially prepared 
NUTRIO, to the spaded surface, and work 
into soil. 
Apply 1 inch or more of humus 
Dust seed before planting with 
Cuprocide or Hormodin to prevent rotting of 
seed, and hasten germination. 

Always Beautiful 
Sow seed 1 to 1% inches deep—two to 
four seeds to the inch are sufficient. One 
ounce of sweet pea seed will sow 30 feet 
of row. After plants are up thin out to one 
plant to every 6-9 inches. Best results are 
had if they are not allowed to grow too 
thick. When plants are about 3 inches high 
pinch out the centers. This encourages a 
hardy vigorous growth. 
Give support to plants at once, otherwise 
growth is checked. Wire netting, strong 
string tied to supports in some manner, 
boughs of trees with plenty of twigs, etc., 
are all useful and efficient means of support.
