SWEET PEAS 



BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIOXABLE. 



Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made In well prepared ground as early as It can 

 be worked. They 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 j'ou cut, the 

 greater the quantitj' of blooms they will produce. 



Our Sweet Peas have teen, Wooming constantly since 

 long before Easter Sutiday, and ice just cut them down 

 last week (July 1st). They were the largest and finest 

 Peas I ever sate and of all colors. People came from 

 all parts of town to look at our Pea patch.
