FOUR "DONTS." 



pv >x expect Sweet Peas to thrive in soil too poor 

 for any other culture, or in a sunless location. 

 They need, as nearly as possible, a free deep loam, mod- 

 erately rich and freely cultivated. 



r\ nn 'f sow too shallow. Plant the seed not less 

 than two inches deep, and when the plants 

 are two or three inches high draw the soil up to them 

 in ridge form. 



pv 'j. overfeed. With a view to obtaining vigor- 

 ous growth and profusion of bloom, bone, in 

 some form, is the best fertilizer. Nitrate of soda will do 

 for a "hurry-up" stimulant, should such be needed; 

 but use it sparingly. 



Hnn't S atner the blooms grudgingly. The more 

 you cut the longer the vine will continue to 

 flower. Remember, when they go to seed Sweet Peas 

 will cease flowering.
