LIEFGREEN’S GIANT SPENCER 
HOW TO GROW SWEETS PEAS 
SWEET PEAS are so well known they need no descrip- 
tion. We offer only the Giant Flowering Spencer strain 
in both the Early Flowering and the Spring Flowering 
types. 
CULTURE: Sow seed in a location that receives morn- 
ing 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 thor- 
oughly and allow to stand several days before planting 
seed. After the soil has settled 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 sufficient. 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 surface soil from dry- 
ing 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 sys- 
tem. 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 culti- 
vation, water as needed after plants are up and oc- 
casional applications of Sweet Pea Food or a good all- 
purpose commercial fertilizer, will insure a profusion of 
lovely blooms. A long blooming season may be had by 
keeping the blossoms picked. 
Inoculate Seed with LEGUME-AID 
LEGUME-AID is a NITROGEN-fixing bacteria for inocu- 
lating legume seed, such as SWEET PEA SEED, LUPINS, 
etc. Legume-Aid increases the yield, improves the quality 
and enriches the soil. It comes in dust form in moisture- 
proof packages and no water is needed. One garden 
packet inoculates up to 5 pounds of Sweet Peas, Lupins, 
Beans or garden peas.
