SWEET PEAS 
CULTURE]—To succeed best they 
should be sown as soon as the ground 
can be worked In the spring. Good soil 
thoroughly mixed with well rotted ma¬ 
nure dug to a depth of one foot or more, 
will give splendid results; when well up 
give brush or strings to support them. 
May also be sown late in fall, about 
middle of November, and will bloom 
earlier. They commence to bloom early, 
and if the flowers are picked as soon as 
they fade, will continue all summer.
