So w Sweet Peas Early in Rich L and. These Are Among the Best Sorts 
Summer-Flowering Sweet Peas 
For Growing in the Garden 
Culture. —Sow seed as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Dig a trench 
about a foot wide and deep, and fill in with 6 inches of well-rotted stable manure; tread down 
firmly and replace the good garden soil. Draw a single straight line in the middle of the pre¬ 
pared surface, about %inch deep; sow seed at even distances of about 3 inches, and cover. 
When the plants grow about 3 or 4 inches high, thin out to 6 inches from each other. As soon 
as the vines reach a height of about 8 inches, proper supports should be provided. 
The Sweet Pea is a moisture-loving plant, and by the month of May the plants will require 
water. It is advisable to use a mulch of old stable manure and soak well with hose as needed.
