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 cover- 

 ing of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom con- 

 tinuously 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 blossoming. 

 In the selection and growing of our sweet peas we have ob- 

 tained the services of one of the leading expert sweet pea
