COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



w 



Tliis flower has become very popular the last few yeai's. The following list contains the CREAM of 

 r.aniod varieties and has ben selected with a view to please the most critical. 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas will grow anywhere, but will give best results on clay soil; a good method 

 is to select your bed the previous fall, enrich with thoroughly rotten manure and spade bed deeply; this 

 will leave ground in nice shape for early planting. Do not spade ground in spring, as a stiff, firm soil 

 is best; never use fresh manure. Early in spring sow your seed in double rows about 10 inches apart. 

 Hollow out drills, so tliat they will be about 2 or S inches deep in stiff claj^ and 4 or 5 inches deep in 

 light loose soil; firm soil in the trench with the foot. On this sow your seed twice as thick as you 

 want them to stand in rov.-, cover seed about two inches deep and firm soil. 



Do not hill up, as it is better to have a slight depression, so as to catch most of the water after 

 rains. Thin plants lo 2 inches apart before they commence to vine. Hoe only shallow between plants. 

 For support use por.ltry wire or brush. For a lor.s season of bloom, mulch and water in dry weather, 

 and pluck flowers freeh', as they soon stop blooming if you let seed form.
