SWEET PEAS, 



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 4 to 6 inches deep. In this 

 sow the seed and cover 2 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 cov- 

 ering of the seed at first, and so en- 

 able 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.
