SWEET PEAS 
There are no Annual Climbers that are more popular or more admired by everybody than Sweet Peas. 
They are of the easiest culture, unrivalled for cutting, delightfully fragrant and of the brightest and daintiest 
colors imaginable. As soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring, sow the seed in trenches at least 
6 inches in depth, then as the plants grow fill in the soil about one inch at a time until the trenches are 
full, taking care not to cover the young plants. Liquid manure applied occasionally will be found very 
beneficial. Pick the flowers frequently, for if allowed to form seed the plants will soon stop blooming.
