Wood's Giant Flowering Sweet Peas 
AN OUNCE WILL PLANT 25 FEET OF ROW 
CULTURE. Early planting is advised so that they may bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow deep rooting. 
Open a trench 4 to 6 inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February and cover over with an inch of soil and press it 
firmly. When up about 2 inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the roots to become 
too dry; water at least twice a week.
