DON'T expect Sweet Peas to thrive in soil 

 too poor for any other plants, or in a 

 sunless location. They need, as nearly 

 as possible, a free clay loam, moderately 

 rich and freely cultivated. 

 DON'T overfeed. With a view to obtaining 

 vigorous growth and profusion of bloom, 

 bone meal is the best fertilizer. 

 DON'T sow too shallow. Plant the seeds 

 not less than two inches deep, and as the 

 plants become established bank the soil 

 against them, repeating this two or three 

 times throughout the season. 

 DON'T gather blooms grudgingly. The 

 more you cut the longer the vine will 

 continue to flower. Remember, when 

 they go to seed Sweet Peas will cease 

 flowering. 

 DON'T water so as to only slightly sprin- 

 kle or wet the surface of the ground. 

 When you water, see that it soaks thor- 

 oughly into the ground for at least 6 

 inches.
