VllM. ELLIOTT & SONS' GENERAL CATALOGUE FOR 1897. 



SWEET PEAS 



These fragrant 

 climbing annu- 

 als are too well- 

 known to require 

 a description at 

 length here. Seed 

 should be sown 

 early in sprir g 

 as the groui td 

 can be worked to 

 enable the vines 

 to get a good 

 strong growth be- 

 fore the warm weather. 

 Work thoroughly into the 

 groimd a large quantity 

 of well rotted manure and 

 make trenches six inches 

 deep in which the seed 

 should be so^vn covering 

 them two inches. As soon as the plants show through fill in 

 the trench which will secure a deep root and allow blooming 

 tlirough the htat of siimmer. 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. 



ol/ Varieties prefixed with a * are large flowering.
