The vine or plant of the Sweet Pea succeeds best in 
moist, yet well drained, cool soil. For longest possible 
blooming season, the seed must be planted early. Using 
the best mode, the trench method, the trench should be 
2 feet wide and 2 feet deep, and filled nearly to the sur- 
face with a mixture of well rotted manure and rich soil. 
Fill in the top with 6 inches of soil. Germination will be 
hastened if the seeds are soaked in water over night. 
foot.) It does not flower until the second year from 
seed: commences blooming in early summer and con- 
tinues to flower for several weeks. Pkt., 5c. 
Seeds should be inoculated with Nitragin. Sow the seed 
two inches deep at the rate of one ounce per twenty feet. 
When the weather is dry, soak the ground thoroughly 
once or twice a week. The earth should be kept loose 
two inches deep around the plants at all times. In the 
evening, during hot weather, a light spraying of the 
vines will be found beneficial. Sweet Peas should be cut 
early in the morning, and there will be longer period of 
bloom if they are cut closely. If allowed to produce any 
great amount of seed, the plant will wither quickly. 
Spray thoroughly to prevent infection from insects.
