CROPS TO GROW WITH SWEET PEAS 77 



whole arcana of good cultivation may be summed up in 

 the following rules by a well-known gardener: " Trench 

 deeply, manure liberally, plant thinly, stake quickly, water 

 early, and dispod promptly." 



CROPS TO GROW WITH SWEET PEAS 



In most or all cases, a crop or crops can be grown in the 

 same house with the Peas. Among the subjects that are 

 suitable aie Asparagus plumosus, Wallflower, Lupines, 

 Myosotis (Forget-me-not), Pansies, Mignonette, Candy- 

 tuft, Clarkia, Stevia, Schizanthus, Primula malacoides, 

 Primula obconica, and also Dutch bulb stock and later on 

 bedding plants. These can be accommodated on side 

 benches, leaving the middle of the house free for the Peas. 

 Pansy seeds may be sown in August to produce plants 

 for flowering in the greenhouse in Winter, and Clarkia, 

 Candytuft and Schizanthus in the early Autumn. 

 Wallflowers may be grown from seeds sown in July, or 

 from cuttings taken early in the Spring. All of these 

 plants may be grown in a night temperature of about 

 50 deg. and a day temperature of about 60 deg. to 65 

 deg. They will produce flowers late in Winter or early in 

 Spring. Set the Pansies 5 in. or 6 in. apart each way, 

 the Wallflower, Clarkia, and Candytuft 8 in., and the 

 Schizanthus 10 in. to 12 in. apart. The Pansies and 

 Candytuft should be grown in benches; the others either 

 in benches or pots. 



Violets may be grown between the lines of Peas, but 

 in that case at least 5 ft. apart is necessary. Tomatoes 

 form a fine crop to follow with in Summer, and if the 

 plants receive a good start, much of their crop will be 

 ready before the outdoor fruits are ripe. An average of 

 7 lbs. per plant can be produced.
