Late or Summer Peas 
This is the original strong growing class so 
largely used for summer flowering. We have 
for years found them profitable for outdoor 
cutting by sowing not later than February Ist, 
placing 3 or 4 seedlings in a 3 in. band or pot 
and after hardening them in an outdoor frame, 
planting them out. This is done in 3 ft. spaced 
rows, the pot plants spaced about 8 in.; but 
before doing so, syringe and fumigate very 
thoroly, being sure they are clean of aphis. 
Usually they should be sprayed for aphis every 
2 weeks until they flower. Failures are fre- 
quently due to not watching this point. With 
us they usually reach a height of 4-5 ft. and are 
supported with wire and string as indoors. 
Water should be applied when necessary. Such 
a start with us flowers freely the last two weeks 
of June.
