FERTILIZERS FOR SWEET PEAS. 



What is the best fertilizer for outdoor 

 sweet peas, and when is the best time 

 to apply itf We raised the Dorothy 

 Eckford and Nora Unwin for white this 

 year, but could not get any stems ten 

 or twelve inches, as our friend Bates, of 

 Sugar Hill, speaks of in the Review for 

 August 6. We shall want to try again 

 next year and want to do our best. 



W. H. K. 



There is nothing better than well de- 

 composed cow manure. We like to apply 

 a heavy coating to the land late in the 

 fall, plowing it in and leaving the sur- 

 face rough. This is much better than 

 leaving this work until spring. Sow 

 your seed as soon as the land can be 

 worked and mulch well between the rows 

 after the peas are well started. Sow 

 thinly, or have courage to thin out your 

 plants; otherwise you cannot expect 

 strong stems. C. W.
