SWEET PEAS AND HOW TO CROW THEM, continued 
it often does a lot of damage before it is discovered, so be on the lookout for it. Red Arrow or Black-Leaf 40 rea 
excellent remedies (see Insecticides) and should be diluted at the rate of one teaspoonful to a gallon of water and ap¬ 
plied through an atomizer. (See Tool section.) Aphis are sucking insects and are killed by suffocation only, so that 
the solution must actually touch the insects before it will kill them. Spray thoroughly under and over the leaves 
until the solution drips from the vines. 
Planting Sweet Peas in trenches is another method used by many and is also very good if properly done. Exca¬ 
vate to a depth of 2 feet and at least feet wide. If drainage is not good, place some rocks at the bottom, cover 
with pieces of sod or leaves, and on top of this put a layer of cow-manure or well-rotted barnyard manure, 8 inches 
thick; fill to within 3 inches of the top with good rich garden loam mixed with well-rotted barnyard manure, humus, 
bone-meal, or sheep-manure. For sowing, follow the directions as given on page 78.
