SWEET PEA, CUTHBERTSON 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR 
SWEET PEAS 
For the best location, select a 
where the sweet peas will get the morning 
and forenoon sun. Rich, loamy soil is de- 
sirable. Deep digging to even more than 
a spade length down and finely prepared 
soil are very important. Sow seeds about 
1 inch apart and 1 to 1% inches deep. 
The use of ‘‘Nitrogen’”’ on the seed before 
planting will assist with good roots and 
abundant flowers. A good suggestion is 
to plant seed in the bottom of a trench 
of required depth. As the plant grows, 
gradually fill in around it with soil, 
drawing it up to the plants as they grow 
taller until eventually the surface soil is 
level. When sweet pea plants are about 
three inches high, twigs should be set 
around them to which the young tendrils 
may cling. When they reach the height of 
about 6 inches, supports should be pro- 
vided. ‘‘Train-Ettes” are considered the 
best for they can be used from year to 
year and are easily placed. The _ soil 
should be well hoed and mulched to keep 
loose for several inches in depth to pre- 
vent cracking and loss of moisture. The 
flowers should not be allowed to wither 
on the vines but should continually be 
cut off. This will greatly prolong the 
spot

blooming season. Whenever the Soil be- 
gins to get a little dry, it should be wa- 
tered. A thorough soaking twice a week 
is better than a little sprinkle every day. 
The use of a good mulch and peat moss 
will aid in the conservation of water. 
Cuthbertson Sweet Peas 
Cuthbertson Sweet Peas represent one 
of the most important developments in 
the modern world of flowers! Sweet pea 
lovers can now grow this beautiful flower 
successfully under conditions of heat and 
drought. The Cuthbertson Sweet Pea. 
with the orthodox blossom and vine, com- 
bines an ability to grow and bloom under 
hot weather conditions with exceptional 
vigor, length of stem, and an abundance 
of fragrant blossoms. In Arizona, seed 
should be sown outdoors in late August 
or September for early blooming or as 
late as December for spring blooms. In 
higher altitudes, plant as soon as the 
soil can be worked and danger of severe 
frost is past. The notations after some 
varieties are awards received for supe- 
riority.
