Peas. 



{Lathyrus Odoratus.) 



The wonderful advance made in the size, substance and variety of colors in Sweet Peas in the 

 past few years, have placed it in the first rank among flowering plants. But few plants are easier 

 grown, and grown in masses of separate colors or in mixture their beauty and fragrance cannot be 

 surpassed. 



Culture. — Sweet Peas should be sown in drills, as early as possible in spring, in rich, friable 

 soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly; working in a quantity of well rotted manure, if it can be done. 

 Making a furrow four to 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 furrow. This will secure a deep planting without the bad 

 effect of deep covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom continuously through the 

 heat of summer. As fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be cut off, for if the 

 pods are allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming.
