SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are among the most beautiful of all our hardy annuals. Any ordinary garden soil is well adapted for growing them. Select a sunny, open 
place, several feet from any building, or close fence, and as far as possible from large trees. Sow as early in the spring as possible. Do not wait fur fair 
weather. Plant in double rows six inches apart and four inches deep, dropping the seeds three inches apart, alternating them in this manner ° 0 ° 0 ° 
When up, hoe the soil toward the plants a little, but do not form a ridge. Furnish support early. The one important point is to keep the surface of the soil fine and 
mellow from the time it is worked up in the spring. The following list embraces the most desirable sorts that have been brought out up to the present time, although 
we can furnish any of the 150 varieties offered by the trade.
