Swppf r. Early planting and plenty of moisture are 
ljncci A the secrets of growing Sweet Peas success¬ 
fully. Sweet Peas are among the seeds to be sown as soon as 
the soil can be worked, and should be planted 6 inches deep, being 
covered at first with only 2 inches of soil, the trench being filled 
as the plants grow. This method will give them a well-developed 
root system. Thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart as soon as they are 
above the ground. They should be staked up on stout stakes, on 
which wire netting has been fastened. These should be at least 
4 feet high. Do not allow the roots to become dry; water at least 
twice a week. Gather Sweet Pea blooms frequently; the more you 
cut them the better and longer they will bloom.

Flowered”
