CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



SWEET PEAS. 



BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, 

 FASHIONABLE. 



A Select List of the Best Sorts, Arranged in Colors. 



Sowing should be made in well-prepared ground as early as it can be worked. 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 back 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.
