The World's B est Sweet Peas. 
CULTURAL HINTS. We are often asked, "What treatment 
or culture shall I give my sweet peas that I may grow them 
successfully?" It is almost impossible to give instruction, 
that will cover every locality, as much depends upon sois 
situation, etc. However, by following the general hints 
which w-e give herewith, niodilied bj- your own judgment 
to suit the local conditions, you should be 
able to grow good sweet peas. Pl.ant early in 
rows north and south — April 1st is none too 
soon, if the ground will work. .Make a trench 
12 inches deep and 15 inches wide. \V( 
into the soil in bottom of trench 
plenty of well rotted manure; fill s 
inches of trench with fine soil and sow 
the peas, covering 1 inch deep (if 
about April 1st), in two rows ten 
inches apart and seeds 2- v '^l./' 
inches apart in the rows; \ 
if planted later cover deeper. / , 
When wcil up, fill in the 
earth gradually as they 
glow, until the trenches 
are full. The object is to 
get the roots well down, 
so th.'it they m.iv resist 
drouth. Give plenty of 
water, pick, the blooms 
without stint, and do not 
let run to seed. Use brush 
or trellis 5 or 6 leet high.
