SWEET PEA QUARTERS OUTDOORS 51 



and produce blooms of the finest quality as a conse- 

 quence in more open positions. It must not be inferred, 

 however, that the results in the flowering season will 

 not be satisfactory because the preparatory work in such 

 cases cannot be of such a drastic nature. Beautiful 

 flowers, and these in abundance, will naturally follow 

 where the ground is deeply dug though not necessarily 

 trenched. Even where the quarters are only dug one 

 spit deep and the subsoil forked over, Sweet Peas will 

 do well, provided a plentiful supply of good manure be 

 dug in at the time this work is carried out. 



While we believe in high culture for this subject, 

 because the best results are attained in this way, we 

 frankly admit that magnificent Sweet Peas may be 

 grown in confined areas, where, owing to a variety of 

 circumstances, it is not possible to dig and delve as we 

 would do in a more open position.
