SWEET PEAS. 



BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 



Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared 

 ground as early as it can be worked. The plants should not, 

 however, be grown two successive seasons on the same ground. 

 It 'will be found a most excellent plan to make a trench about 

 6 inches deep, in which plant the Seeds, covering at first to a 

 depth of 2 inches: gradually draw in the soil as they advance 

 in growth; this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our 

 hot summers. Never allow them to run to Seed, as once in the 

 Seed pod they are finished for the season. The more you cut, 

 the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce.
