SWEET PEAS. How to grow Sweet Peas: The soil for Sweet Peas 
should be rich and deep. A good rich loam, with plenty of well- 
rotted manure in it, is the ideal soil for raising good plants that 
will produce plenty of blooms. Considerable benefit has been 
noted from the use of inoculating culture. Seed may be sown 
out-of-doors as early in the season as the ground can be worked, 
usually the middle of March to the middle of 
April.

In addition, the petals are beautifully waved or 
fluted, and in some of the newer Spencers the

cated in the Spencer type.
