Suaeet Peas 



A Choice, Carefully Revised Selection, Including the 

 Choicest New Sorts 



The seed should be sown ns early as the ground can be 

 worked in the spring, to enable the vines to get a good, strong 

 growth before the warm weather comes. Prepare the ground 

 by thoroughly working in a large quantity of well-rotted 

 manure. Make a trench six inches deep; in this sow the seed 

 and cover two inches deep. As soon as the plants begin to 

 show through, fill in the trench. This willseeure adeepplant- 

 ing without the bad etfect of deep covering of the seed ai first, 

 and so enal)le tlie plant to bloom continually through the 

 heat of summer. As tlie flowers come into full bloom or 

 fade, they should be cut oft', for if the pods are allowed to 

 form, the plants will stop blooming. 



The Best Effect in Sweet Peas is obtained by having 

 them in vase?, with each variety by itself. Therefore, buy the 

 named sorts and keep them separate, and plant largely.
