SWEET PEAS 
One of the Most Popular Flowers for the Home Garden 
Culture .■— As early as the ground can be worked in the spring, make a trench 6 inches deep in rich soil, sow the 
seed in the bottom, covering not more than 2 inches deep; as the plants grow, fill in the earth around them and see 
that some suitable support is provided for them to run upon. Flowers must be picked before pods form, otherwise 
vines will not continue to blossom. 
One ounce of seed will plant a row of 50 feet
