SWEET PEAS. 



C U L T U K E.— 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-rot- 

 ted 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 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. 



In the selection and growing of 

 our Sweet Peas we have obtained 



the services of one of the leading e.xpert Sweet Pea growers in the
