Sweet Peas 



Culture. -Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early as 

 possible in spring- in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed tho- 

 roughly in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it can be done, 

 making a furrow one to six inches deep. In this sow the seed 

 and cover two 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 blossoming. In the selection and growing of 

 our sweet Peas we have obtained the services of one of the lead- 

 ing expert sweet pea growers in the world who has made the 

 growing, propagating and developing of grand, new, elegant 

 varieties of sweet peas one of the highest aims of his life. We.
