Sweet Peas should be sown as early in Spring as the ground can be pre¬ 
pared. Manure well, making the drills about five inches deep. Sow 
pentifully, covering about two inches deep, and by degrees, as the vines 
grow up, till the trenches with soil, care being taken not to draw the 
soil on top of the growing vines. The following list embraces all the most 
desirable new and distinct large-flowering varieties of recent introduction, 
which cannot fail to give satisfaction. One ounce will sow about 8 feet 
of row, V4 lb- for 35 feet.
