CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



SWEET PEAS. 



BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, 

 FASHIONABLE. 



Sowing should be made in well-prepared ground as early as it can be worked. The 

 plants should not, however, be sown 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 with- 

 stand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to seed, as once in the 

 seed pod they are finished for the season. The more you cut, the greater 

 the quantity of blooms they will produce.
