SWEET PEAS, RUFFLED SPENCERS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting plants requiring heavy feeding. Prepare a trench 
18 inches deep and 18 inches wide. Fork about 6 inches of well rotted 
manure in the bottom. Fill the balance with soil in which a liberal quantity 
of well rotted manure is mixed. 
Do the actual sowing 6 to 8 inches deep. Cover seeds with 2 inches of soil 
and press firmly. Fill in the balance as the plants grow, to get the roots 
deeper than would otherwise be possible. Use one ounce of seed to 20 feet 
of row and thin out to get the plants 4 to 5 inches apart. 
Keep flowers picked to prevent seed forming, to produce more and better 
bloom. Overhead watering causes flower buds to drop. 
TIME OF SOWING. Early October or early February where winters are mild, 
late spring in colder areas. Fall sowing gives earlier flowers and longer bloom.
