STOKES' SWEET PEAS 



Never more popular than today, 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. Tlie 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 prepared, using bone-meal as a fertilizer. Keep them well picked and you will have bloom for a long time.
