CULTURAL HINTS. 
We are often asked, 
"What treatment or 
culture shall I givo 
my sweet peas that I 
may grow them suc- 
cessfully?" It is al- 
most impossible to 
nstructions that will coyer every lo- 
as much depends upon soil, situation, 
etc. ftowever, by following the general hints 
wliich we give herewith, modified by your 
o\TO judgment to suit the local conditions, 
you should be able to grow good sweet peas . 
Plant early in rows north and south— April 1st is nona 
too soon, if the ground will work. Make a trench 12incbea 
deep and 1.5 inches wide. Work into the soil in Ixjttom of 
trench plenty of well rotted manure ; fill 8 inches of trench 
with fine soil and sow the peas, covering 1 inc h deep (if 
about April 1st), in two rows 10 inches apart and seeds 2- 
inches apart in the rows : if plantetl later, cover deeper. When well up, fill 
in with earth gradually as they grow, until th(! trenches are full. The ob- 
ject is to get the roots well down, so that they may resist drought. 
Give plenty of water, pick the blooms without stint, and do not let run 
to seed. Use brush or trellis 5 or 6 feet liigh.
