SWEET PEAS 
The delicate fragrance, delightful colors, and graceful daintiness of Sweet Peas have always made them 
favorites in the garden as vines for trellises or fences and for cutflowers. Now we have many excellent new varie- 
ties to offer you. 
Sweet Peas should be planted just as early as possible. Dig trenches 18 inches deep as soon as the weather 
permits. Soak the seeds overnight in water and cover them lightly after planting. As the plants grow, rake in 
the soil about them. Thin the plants so that they are 6 inches apart in the row. Another way, requiring more 
labor but an excellent method, is to dig your sweet pea bed to a depth of 3 or 4 feet and put in good soil and man.
