BOLGIANO'S SUPERIOR MIXED SWEET PEAS. 

 Sweet Pea Culture.— Seed should be sown in very early Spring to enable the vine 

 to get a strong growth before warm weather comes; don't plant the seed in soil too 

 pocr for any other culture, or in a sunless location. They need a free clay loam, mod- 

 erately rich, freely cultivated. Seed should be planted not less than 2 inches deep, and 

 as the plants become established, bank soil against them, repeating this two or three 

 times throughout the season. Don't over-fertilize. As the flowers come into bloom, 

 they should be cut off; if the pods are allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming.
