lovers can now grow this beautiful flower

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

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR SWEET PEAS 
For the best location, select a spot 
where the sweet peas will get the morn- 
ing and forenoon sun. Rich, loamy soil is 
desirable. Deep digging to even more 
than a spade length down and finely pre- 
pared 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 sug- 
gestion 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 ten- 
drils may cling. When they reach the 
height of about 6 inches, supports should 
be provided. “Train-Etts” 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 
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.
