SWEET PEAS 



Sweet Peas have been frequently referred to as the poor 

 man's Orchid solely because of the abundance of blooms, the 

 colors which may be likened to those found in the rarest 

 Orchids. 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early 

 I as possible in spring in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed 

 I thoroughly, digging in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it 

 can be done, making a furrow 1 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 effects 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 they should be cut ofi', for_ if the pods are 

 allowed to form the plants will stop blooming.
