Sweet Peas 
The popularity of Sweet Peas is demonstrated by the many and beautiful varieties 
that are introduced each year. Our list includes all the best up-to-date varieties. 
Sow as early as the ground can be prepared in a rich, moist soil, in drills 6 inches 
deep, covering about 2 inches. As the vines grow, fill up the trenches with soil and thin 
out to about 4 or 5 inches apart. A popular plan at the present time is to sow in double 
rows with a trellis or a row of brush between. One-quarter of a pound of seed will sow 
fifty feet.
