splendid success may often be obtained from sowing Sweet Peas in October or November. A perfectly 

 drained soil so situated as not to be subject to too frequent or severe freezing should be selected, and the 

 seed covered about three inches deep. While you cannot be sure of success from fall sowing, yet it is 

 worth while to take the risk foi the advantage of having blooms about a month earlier than you could 

 get them from outdoor sowings made in the spring.
