BODDINGTON'S QUALITY SWEET PEAS 



Arranged alphabetically. For full description, see pages 54 to 57 



THE CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS Pratt, the well-known authority on Sweet Peas, Dig a trench i foot 



* deep and i foot wide ; at bottom tramp down 3 inclies manure, tlien place 4 inches good 

 soil, also firmed down well. Sow Peas in double row, not too thick, and cover with earth to top of trench. If firmed to i inch below the sur- 

 face, it does best in a dry season. Never draw soil on top of the growing vines; it settles in the crown formed just above the ground, holds 

 water and rots the plant, and the dead vine is then believed to suffer from the blight. All Peas should be well firmed in well-pulverized soil. 



The greatest enemy to young Sweet Peas is the cutworm, and they are so destructive as to prevent some people from ever having a 

 good stand of Sweet Peas. They usually take the young shoots just as they come up, and while some plants will send out new shoots and 

 grow again after being cut off, most of them are cut too far down and are ruined. A sprinkling of lime over the row sometimes helps to keep 

 out the cutworms. A handful of grass, dipped in a solution of Paris green, will sometimes attract the worms and the poison kills them. 

 N. B. — To have success with Sweet Peas, sow as soon as frost Is out of the ground
