Giant Spencer and Orchid-Flowering Varieties 
Culture .—Ordinary good garden 
soil is suitahle for Sweet Peas. 
The ground sliould be well drained 
to avoid water lying too long and 
boeoniing sour. 
Soil prejjared as for vegetables 
produces fair results, but a little 
more ear(‘ will repay the planter. 
It is well to cultivate and prepare 
the ground in the Kail, supplying at 
this time a good amount of stable 
manure and bone meal. 
Select for a location in your 
garden a place open and airy and 
which receives the sun all day. 
Seed should be sown in trenches 
about 4 inches deep and covered to 
a depth of 2 inche.s, still allowing 
the center of the trench to remain 
at least 2 inches below the level of 
the ground, that water may be re¬ 
tained. 
In case of dry weather, constant 
watering is necessary to keep the 
roots cool. 
t\’hen the vines are up about 6 
inches high, staking with bush or 
trellis should bo attended to at once. 
One ounce of seed is sufficient 
to plant 20 feet of drill.
