SWEET PEAS FOB SEED. 



Will you kindly tell me what method 

 sweet pea seed growers use to prevent 

 their diflPerent varieties from mixing 

 when flowering, so that they are sure 

 of the varieties sown coming true when 

 the seed is harvested? As I intend 

 to grow sweet peas for seed, I would 

 be grateful for any information you 

 can give. My land runs 500 feet west 

 and 175 feet north, long and narrow. 

 _ D. F. 



The sweet pea is what is termed a 

 self-fertilisiing plant and the varieties 

 do not usually hybridize when planted 

 close together. Five yards apart is, as 

 a rule, the distance that the large 

 growers give when growing the separate 

 sorts and they find little trouble in 

 keeping them fairly true to type. 

 Boguing while in bloom and care in the 

 keeping of the kinds from mixture after 

 harvest, or when milling, seem to be 

 the most important things. J. M. C.
