^ GRIFFITH (a TURNBR CO. 



CULTURE 



Sweet Peas should 

 be sown in drills 

 as early as possible 

 in spring, in rich, 

 friable soil. Pre- 

 pare the bed thor- 

 oughly, working in 

 a quantity of well- 

 rotted manure, if it 

 can be done, mak- 

 ing a furrow 4 to 

 6 inches deep. In 

 this sow the seed 

 and cover 2 inches 

 deep. As soon as 

 the plants begin to 

 1 show through, fill 



la 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 sum- 

 mer. 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.
