them up on wires or netting in the center of the yard. A 
southeast exposure is best, but they will bloom most anywhere 
if they get part sunshine. 
Plant them now and they will grow during the winter and 
develop a good strong root system and naturally produce a 
much larger and more beautiful flower. After spading, break 
up any lumps and stamp the soil down very firm. Sweet Peas 
desire a firm seed bed to produce sturdy growth and long 
stems. Plant the seeds about one-half inch deep and 6 inches 
apart. Most people plant them too close together. After plant- 
ing soak the ground good, and as the ground dries keep the — 
top worked up so that it will not crust or bake. When the 
plants are about 3 inches high it is time to provide some means — 
of support. Stakes with strong string supports are fairly good, 
but wire mesh is much better. Keep pruning out the lateral 
branches that have a tendency to cover one another, as crowd- 
ed plants never produce fine flowers. As fast as the Sweet Peas © 
bloom, cut (do not pull) them off, as withered or dry blossoms 
spoil their looks and will cause them to go to seed too soon. 
The Sweet Pea seeds we offer are grown by the best growers 
in the world, and we can safely and conscientiously say that 
there are none better. A great deal of time and money is spent 
bringing out new and better varieties and improving the older 
sorts.
