CULTURE.— Sweet Peas should be sown in 

 drills, as early as possible in Spring, in rich fri- 

 able soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly, working 

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

 done, making a furrow four 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 blooming.
