GERMAIN'S Sweet Pea Winter Spencer Winter Wonder Collection of Giant Winter Spencer Sweet Peas. Six full-sized packets in choicest shades and one package of plant food tablets (a 75c value) for Oc How to Grow Beautiful Sweet Peas Sweet peas are deep rooting. The soil where they are to »e planted should be dug to a depth of eighteen inches. They are also gross feeders and a liberal amount of fertilizer will insure luxuriant growth and large flowers. Dig the fertilizer well under and see that the soil has settled and is firm before the seeds are planted. This result can be quickly obtained by tamping and watering. The seeds are usually sown in shallow trenches about three inches deep and covered only one or one and one-half inches. The balance of the earth is filled in after the young plants have grown a few inches. In certain heavy soils it is best not to cover the seed more than one inch at any time. Seeds may be spaced one or two inches apart in the trench and the young plants gradu- ally thinned to six inches to prevent crowding. A support for the vines must be provided early. They require a liberal amount of water. The flowers must be gathered often and should any seed pods form, these must be immediately re- moved to insure a prolonged blooming period. In growing sweet peas out of season, the vines are protected with cheese cloth or other light material. If the cloth is stretched above the plants it provides sufficient protection against strong sunshine in summer and chilly nights in winter in California. 36 Los Angeles Since 1H71 85c Winter Flowering Spencer Sweet Pe^- Two Magnificent Novelties 4228 Early Fascination.
