two feet deep, 18 inches wide in open sunny location. Mix topsoil well with peat 
moss in the trench, fertilizing well with bone meal (2 Ibs. to 10 feet). Plant 
seed 3 inches deep and from 4 to 6 inches apart. Thin crowded seedlings to 6 
inches apart. Sweet Peas can be planted out of doors from September to early 
Spring in San Antonio and vicinity. Cover seedlings, however, with the advent 
of a severe freeze. Try not to use same location for Sweet Peas two seasons 
ina row.

earlier than the Spencers. Definitely an intermediate season
