D ONT fail to observe 
a few Simple Sweet Pea Suggestions 
DON'T s^P^ct Sweet Peas to thrive in soil too poor for any 
other culture, or in a sunless location. They need, 
as nearly as possible, a free clay loam, moderately rich and freely 
cultivated. 
DON'T s'ia"o"'- P'^"' "''^ seeds not less than two 
inches deep, and, as the plants become established, 
bank the soil against them, repeating this two or three times 
throughout the season. 
DON'T over-feed. With a view to obtaining vigorous growth 
and profusion of bloom, bone, in some form, is the 
best fertilizer. Nitrate of soda will do for a "hurry-up" stimu- 
lant, should such be needed; but use it sparingly. 
DON'T gather the blooms grudgingly. The more you cut, 
the longer the vine will continue to flower. 
DON'T '° make a good selection before you sow. 
j^Qjs^>'J' try to raise seed and have fine flowers at the same • 
time. They don't go together.
