STOKES' SWEET PEAS 



Never more popular than toda3^ and greatly improved over the old types. A good plan is to sow them in double rows, with a wire 

 trellis or row of brush in between. The seed should be put in about 5 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches apart. Do not cover more than 2 inches 

 deep at first, covering the vines by degrees as they grow until the trench is filled with soil. Sow just as early as the ground can be pre- 

 pared, using bone-meal as a fertilizer. Keep them well picked and you will have bloom for a long time.
