How to Grow Fine Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas are of comparatively easy 
culture, if their requirements are taken 
into consideration. We can all grow 
fine Sweet Peas with lovely long stems 
if we will observe a few simple rules 
in their culture. 
First—Good seed. 
Second—Rich soil, deeply dug. 
Third—Early sowing. 
Fourth—Early staking. 
Fifth—Frequent fertilization to in- 
sure healthy, rapid, continuous growth. 
Sixth—Keep soil loose and porous. 
Select an open sunny spot in the 
richest part of the garden and then 
apply a thick layer of pulverized sheep 
or cattle manure 18 inches wide. Re- 
member that Sweet Peas are deep root- 
ing plants so that the soil must be 
deeply and thoroughly worked. Spade 
the manure in as deep as the fork will 
go and turn the soil over three or four 
times so that the manure becomes thor- 
oughly mixed with it, then level, and 
your bed is ready for planting. Sow 
in double rows, that is, open two drills 
about 8 to 10 inches apart and 4. to 5 
inches deep and scatter the seed lib- 
erally, but not too thick (about one 
ounce to 15 running feet), then cover. 
The support for the plants to climb on 
is placed in the center of the two rows 
and should be in place by the time the 
plants are 2 inches high. 
Sweet Peas require sufficient plant 
food at all times, and you will find 
that a top dressing of commercial fer- 
tilizer applied regularly every two 
weeks and hoed in will help produce 
strong healthy vines, lovely flowers.
