SWEET PEA CULTURE.— Seed should be sown in very 

 early spring to enable the vine to get a strong growth be- 

 fore •warm weather comes; dontplant the seed in soil too poor 

 for any other culture, or in a sunless location. They need a 

 free clay loam, moderately rich, freely cultivated. Seed 

 should be planted not less than 2 inches deep, and as the 

 plants become established, bank soil against tnem, repeat- 

 ing this two or three times throughout the season. Don't 

 over-fertilize. As the flowers come into bloom, they should 

 be cut oft; if the pods are allowed to form, the plants -will 

 stop blooming.
