SWEET PEAS. 



( Lathy rus odoratus.) 



These exceedingly beautiful and fra- 

 grant hardy annuals are now most popular. 



Directions for Culture. — Sweet 

 Peas succeed best in a deep, rich soil. 

 The most approved method of cultivation 

 to sow in a trench 5 or 6 inches deep, 

 covering them at first with only one i?ich of soil ; then as the 

 plants grow, fill in the earth about them one inch at a time. 

 After the plants are well grown up, they should be watered 

 copiously, and bone meal worked into the soil about the roots 

 is recommended. Proper trellis or other supports should be 

 provided. 



The first sowing of Sweet Peas may be made very early 

 in the spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground. For a 

 succession, some should be sown every few weeks afterwards. 

 For fall flowering, they may be sown as late as July. Then 

 again, they may be sown late in the fall for very early bloom- 

 ing the following spring, but in that case a dry situation is 

 preferable, and they should be sown 4 or 5 inches deep, and 

 not in the trench method.
