FARQUHAR'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS

SWEET PEAS 



Culture. Sweet Pea fanciers go to no end of trouble to prepare 

 the ground deeply and richly. It is well for ordinary growers to 

 work a trench at least 18 inches deep and wide, putting 

 plenty of well-rotted manure or other suitable fertilizer 

 -^, in the bottom. This should be done in the fall, but if it 

 has been neglected then, it should be done as early as 

 the ground can be worked in spring. March is not too 

 soon if there is a stretch of warm weather to mellow 

 the ground and make it workable. 

 Plant the seeds at the bottom of a furrow about 6 inches deep, and 

 cover them with 2 inches of fine soil. As they come up, slightly hill 

 the rows, leaving a depression on either side into which water can be 

 applied which will percolate to the roots but keep the vines dry. Use 

 brush or wire netting 4 to 5 feet high for them to climb on, and be sure 

 to cut the blooms every day to prevent them from going to seed. 

 Frequent watering is important if the weather is at all dry. 

 Never let the ground bake or cake. Keep it cultivated at all times, 

 or cover it with a mulch of grass clippings or some other material.
