SWEET PEAS 
(Lathyrus odoratus) Leguminosae. In the 
North they should be planted very early irt 
the spring but in the South, plant late in the 
fall; sow direct to the soil, spacing them 
about 3” apart; do not allow to go to seed 
as they will stop flowering. One of the com- 
mon mistakes in growing them is in not 
giving them a strong support at the base of 
the wire, this swings back and forth, usually 
too far thus pulling the roots loose; be sure, 
too, to provide a support as soon as they 
are 1” tall; they germinate in about 10 days. 
The varieties offered are the very best in 
their color.
