These fragrant climbing annu¬ 
als are too well-known to re¬ 
quire a description at length 
here. Seed should be sown 
early in spring as the ground 
can be worked to enable the 
vines to get a good strong 
growth before the warm 
weather. Work thoroughly 
into the ground a large quan¬ 
tity of well rotted manure and 
make trenches six inches 
deep, in which the seed 
should be sown, covering 
them two inches. As soon 
as the plants show through, 
fill in the trench, which will 
secure a deep root and allow 
blooming through the heat 
of summer. Keep the 
flowers picked off, as fast 
as they come into full bloom, 
for if the pods are allowed to- 
form the plants will stop 
blooming.
