SWEET PEAS 



BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 



Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can be worked Thev 

 should not however, be grown two successive seasons on the iarae ground. ItwiH be found a most excel- 

 lent plan to make a trench about 6 inch.^ deep, in which plant th! Seeds, covering at Z^? to^ depth of 

 -— - i.'"-?u^' e'\adually draw in the soil as they advance in. growth; this v^^ll greatly aid the plants 



JH^^ to withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to Seed, as once in the Seed pod thev 

 produ'S for the season. The more you cut, the greater the quantity of blooms ^hV^ll 



Our SweH Peas have been blooming constantly since long 

 before Easier Sunday, and we just cut them down last week 

 {July 1st) . They were the largest and finest Peas I ever saw 

 and of all colors. People came from all parts of town to look 

 at our Pea patch.
