52 WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ GENERAL CATALOGUE FOR 1896. 
SWEET PEAS 
These _ fragrant 
climbing annu- 
als are too well- 
known to require 
a description at 
lengthhere. Seed 
should be sown 
early in spring 
as the ground 
can be worked to 
enable the vines 
to get a good 
strong growth be- 
fore the warm weather. 
Work thoroughly into the 
ground a large quantity 
of well rotted manure and 
make trenches six inches 
deep in which the seed 
should be sown covering 
them two inches. As soon as the plants show through fill in 
the trench which will secure a deep root and allow blooming 
through the heat of summer. Keep the flowers picked off as 
fast as they come into full bloom, for if the pods are allowed 
to form the plants will stop blobming. 
Varieties prefixed with a * are large flowering.
