HOW TO KEEP SWEET PEAS IN 

 FLOWER 

 Many people grow their plants well 

 until August is well advanced, when 

 they begin to get into an unsatisfac- 

 tory condition, and their blossoming 

 period comes to an untimely end. All 

 this may be avoided if a little atten- 

 tion is given to the plants. Immedi- 

 ately deterioration is noticeable in the 

 quality of the flowers, all blooms and 

 seedings should be removed, thus con- 

 centrating all the energy of the roots 

 on the development of the growth of 

 the plants. The soil should be forked 

 over round about the clumps or down 

 the side of the rows, and the plants 

 given a copious application of water, 

 to be followed immediately by manure 

 water. This will stimulate the growth 

 and if nitrate of soda at the rate of 

 half an ounce to a gallon of water be 

 applied subsequently, growth will be 

 of a very satisfactory character, and 

 a new lease of life be given to the 

 plants. Should the weather continue 

 hot, it is a good plan to syringe over- 

 head with clear water in the late after- 

 noon or evening, this also contributing 

 to their well being. In very open and 

 exposed situations, it is a good plan 

 also to mulch both sides of the rows, 

 or round about the clumps of the 

 Sweet Peas. In some cases, where the 

 plants appear to be so bad as to be be- 

 yond recovery, the grower should not 

 despair. By adopting drastic measures 

 it is possible to make even the most 

 unpromising plants render a good ac- 

 count of themselves for some little 

 time to come. It is a good plan in such 

 circumstances to cut back the plants 

 to two-thirds of their height, applying 

 water and mulching, as advised earlier. 

 It is astonishing what a wonderful 

 yield of new growths will respond to 

 this treatment of the plants, and we 

 know of Sweet Peas that have blos- 

 somed well into the autumn where 

 these measures have been adopted. 

 Those who desire to maintain the dis- 

 play in their gardens for some time to 

 come may adopt either of the methods 

 above suggested with every confi- 

 dence. — Gardening illustrated.
