“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. . bat. ‘
