Giant Summer Flowering Spencers 
CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS “s 
Sweet Peas command the attention and admiration of every lover of flowers. 
They are are so easy to grow, and produce such wonderful effects no home should 
be without them. Plant them along the fence, against the house or garage or string 
them up on wires or netting in the center of the yard. A southeast exposure is best, — 
but they will bloom most anywhere if they get part sunshine. 
Plant them now and they will grow during the winter and develop a good strong 
root system and naturally produce a much larger and more beautiful flower. After 
spading, break up any iumps and stamp the soil down very firm. Sweet Peas desire 
a firm seed bed to produce sturdy growth and long stems. Plant the seeds about E 
one-half inch deep and 6 inches apart. Most people plant them too close together. * 
After planting soak the ground good, and as the ground dries keep the top worked 2 
up so that it will not crust or bake. When the plants are about 3 inches high it is 
time to provide some means of support. Stakes with strong string supports are 
fairly good, but wire mesh is much better. Keep pruning out the lateral branches 
that have a tendency to cover one another, as crowded plants never produce fine 
flowers. As fast as the Sweet Peas bloom, cut (do not pull) them off, as withered 
or dry blossoms spoil their looks and will cause them to go to seed too soon. ' 
The Sweet Pea seeds we offer are grown by the best growers in the world, and 
we can safely and conscientiously say that there are none better. A great deal of 
time and money is spent bringing out new and better varieties and improving the 
older sorts. : ;
