SWEET PEAS 



BKALTlJrXL, IRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 



Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can In- 

 worked. Tliej" should not, however, be grown two .succ-essive 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 

 jn 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 sea- 

 son. The more you cut, the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce. 



Our Siccct Peas have heen hlooming constantly sinci 

 long before Easter Sitnflai/, and we just cut them doan 

 last ireek (Julij 1st). They icere the lurgcttt and 

 finest Peas I ever saw and of all colors. People came 

 from all parts of town to loot: at our Pea patch.
