«*5 ^^.^^ SWEET PEAS. 



These fragrant climbing annu- 

 als are too well-known to re- 

 quire a description at length 

 here. Seed should be sown 

 early in spring as the ground 

 can be worked to enable the 

 vines to get a good strong 

 growth before the warm 

 weather. Work thoroughly 

 into the ground a large quan- 

 tity 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 

 blooming.
