Try the New Spring-flowering Sweet Peas 

For Early Blooms. Place three seeds in a 
smal] pot of soil in the house about March 1. 
If all three seeds germinate, pull out the two 
weakest plants and retain the strongest. As 
soon as the second set of leaves has formed, 
plunge the young plants, with the pots, in a 
coldframe protected by sash, where they can 
be hardened off. Lift the sash during the 
sunny hours of the day and water carefully. 
Set the plants out in the open about April 
15, and space them 6 inches apart in the row. 
General Culture 
Four ounces of seed will sow a single row of 
100 feet 
The ground where Sweet Peas are to be 
grown should be well prepared—if possible,

Sweet Peas 
The Twentieth-Century Method of Growing Sweet Peas 

is very essential, for the roots love to pene- 
trate into the cooler part of the soil. Manure 
placed at a considerable depth will help to 
draw the roots downward. Sweet Peas love 
sun, therefore they should always be planted 
where they are exposed to the sun all day. 
Sow Seeds Early. Sweet Peas produce 
their strongest roots during the cool, moist 
months of spring, so planting should take 
place as soon as the land can be worked. A 
little frost will do no harm to Sweet Peas. 
After the soil has been carefully smoothed 
and raked, draw a line for a straight row and 
sow three seeds every 6 inches in the row. 
Do not cover the seed with more than inch 
of soil, and if more than one plant should 
appear im each spot, carefully destroy all but 
one specimen so that one plant shows every 
6 inches in the row.
