SWEET PEAS 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as 

 early as possible in spring in rich, friable soil. Prepare 

 the bed thoroughly in a quantity of well rotted manure, 

 if it can be done, making a furrow one to six inches deep. 

 In this sow the seed and cover two inches deep. As soon 

 as the plants begin to show through, fill in the furrow. 

 This will secure a deep planting without the bad effect of 

 deep covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plant 

 to bloom continuously through the heat of summer. As 

 fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade they 

 should be cut off, for if the pods are allowed to form the 

 plants will stop blooming. In the selection and growing 

 of our sweet Peas we have obtained the services of one of 

 the leading expert sweet pea growers in the world who 

 has made the growing, propagating and developing of 

 grand, new, elegant varieties of sweet peas one of the 

 highest aims of life. We, therefore, commend our extra
