SWEET PEAS. 
The Sweet Pea is a climbing annual and 
hardy. This popular flower is of the easiest 
culture and well adapted to most any cli¬ 
mate. The seed should be sown early in 
the spring in a drill 4 to 6 inches deep, 
dropping three or four seeds every four 
inches and covering about one inch, work¬ 
ing the soil around the plant as it comes up 
until it is on a level with the surface, this 
leaves the roots down deep enough not be 
so effected by dry weather. 
Sweet Peas require an abundance of water 
and an open location. The water should 
be applied at the roots and the vines 
should not be sprinkled. A trellis of 
brush or chicken wire is necessary.

feet high. Blossoms are very double and 
while the stems are stiff they make an ex¬ 
cellent bouquet flower. The colors are in
