GROWING FOR EXHIBITION 

 Where the main object of the planter is flowers for the 

 exhibition table, more intensive methods of culture 

 are usually carried out. For instance, if the rows of 

 Peas are grown in a block, instead of trenching the 

 ground for each individual row only, the entire piece of 

 ground should be deeply dug and thoroughly manured, 

 as described on page 10 and the growths thinned out 

 considerably; in fact, only taking up two to four stems 

 on each plant. All other branches or laterals being 

 carefully pulled out, not cut out, as by adopting the 

 latter method new laterals would again be emitted in 

 the course of a few days.
