CULTURE. 



SWEET PEAS shonld be sown in drills as early as possible In 

 spring, in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly, work- 

 ing 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 cover- 

 ing 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.
