SWEET PEAS. 



The improvement in Sweet Pens the past few years hiis 

 been marvellous and the good work steadily goes on, and at 

 the same time, with this improvement, the price is coming 

 down, sotliatthe very linest sorts are now within the reach 

 oi every one. The seed should be .sown as early as the ground 

 can be worked in the spring, to enal)le the vines to get a good 

 stionggroM th befoie the warm weather comes. Prepare the 

 giotmd b> thoioughly working in a large quantity of well- 

 lottedmanine Make a trench six inches deep; in this sow 

 the seed and cover two inches deep. 

 As soon as the plants begin to sliow 

 through, fill in the trench. This will 

 secure a deep planting without the bad 

 effect of deep covering of the seed at 

 fiist, and so enable the plant to bloom 

 continually through the heat of sum- 

 mer. As the flowers come 

 into full bloom or fade, they 

 should be cut off, for if the 

 jiods aie allov edto form, the 

 pl.uits w ill stop blooming.
