SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting and heavy 
feeding plants. We recommend a trench 
to be dug about 18 inches deep and 18 
inches wide. In the bottom fork in about 
6 inches of well-rotted manure. Fill in 
with soil in which is mixed a liberal 
quantity of well-rotted manure. 
Sow the seeds in a trench 6 to 8 inches 
deep. Cover about 2 inches and fill in the 
trench as the plants grow. Use one ounce 
of seed to 20 feet of row and thin plants 
to 4 or 5 inches apart. Fall sowing gives 
finer flowers and longer stems and a 
slightly longer period of bloom. 
If flowers are kept picked and seed 
prevented from forming more and better 
blooms will be produced. Avoid overhead 
watering as it causes the flower buds to 
drop. 
In California, Early Flowering varieties 
are sown about August 1 and throughout 
the winter months. If sown in August they 
will bloom by November. Keep the sur- 
face of the bed cool by using a light 
mulch.
