Early Flowering Sweet Peas 
This new race of Sweet Peas has the large, 
waved and frilled, long-stemmed flower of the 
Spencer Orchid-Flowered type, but blooms a 
month early. If you will keep them picked 
they will flower for three months. Plant them 
early. They are particularly adapted for grow- 
ing under glass during the winter and for out- 
door growing in the southern part of the coun- 
try, where the summer-flowering kinds have 
not proved satisfactory. Complete cultural 
directions on every package of seed.

How to Grow Sweet Peas 
Successfully 
Dust your Sweet Pea seed with Nitragin and 
sow as soon as the ground can be worked in 
the spring. Dig a trench about a foot wide and 
deep, fill in with 6 inches of well-rotted stable 
manure; tread down firmly and replace the 
good garden soil. Draw a single straight line 
in the middle of the prepared surface, about 
three-fourths inch deep; sow seed at even dis- 
tances of about 3 inches, and cover. When the 
plants grow about 3 or 4 inches high, thin out 
to 6 inches from each other. As soon as the 
vines reach a height of about 8 inches, proper 
supports should be provided. 
The Sweet Pea is a moisture-loving plant, 
and by the month of May the plants will re- 
quire water. Use a mulch of old stable manure 
or peat moss and soak well with the hose as 
needed.
