SWEET PEAS (A). 
Culture: A deep, rich, cool soil in a partly shaded 
locality. Sweet peas should not be grown on the 
same soil longer than three successive years. If the 
location cannot be changed, the soil to a depth and 
width of a foot or more should be removed and re- 
placed with soil from another part of the garden. 
The ground should be worked or dug to a depth of 
1 foot and mixed with bone meal, or well rotted stable 
manure, leaving a hollow 3 inches deep, 4 inches wide 
for the seed bed, 
Sow early, covering about 1 inch deep. The early 
flowering Spencer should be planted iust as soon as 
the ground can be worked, the middle of March is 
not too early. The Late Flowering Spencer can be 
sown any time from the 17th of March to the 25th of 
April. After the planis are 2 inches high, cultivate 
as they grow and a slight sprinkling of commercial 
fertilizer worked into the soil will be of great benefit. 
When the plants are about 5 inches high fill the seed 
bed hollow with 12 inches of fine soil or peat moss; 
also at that stage some support should be furnished, 
such as brush, strings, wire netting, etc. One ounce 
of seed will plant 10 feet of drill. Pick daily. Do not 
let seed pods form. 
EARLY FLOWERING GIANT SPENCER. A new 
race of sweet peas, bearing the large, waved , 
flowers on long stems same as the standard late 
Spencers, but these bloom three weeks earlier 
and continue to flower for a longer period. Espe- 
cially recommended for sections with short sea- 
sons. (See culture directions above.) This group 
of sweet peas should have more attention from 
the home gardener as it is the easiest variety 
to grow. After careful trials we have selected 
the following varieties as being the best and 
most satisfactory in their class.
