in it, is the ideal soil for raising good plants that will produce plenty of blossoms of good substance. 
Soils that are at all heavy are best dug in the autumn, and during the winter months, a good dress- 
ing of bone meal and air-slacked lime should be given them.

We would recommend planting Sweet Peas not later than the last of February for good results. Sweet 
Peas planted in September and protected from severe frosts, although if they freeze down, they will 
sprout out from the root again, making a better growth than before. For early spring blooming plant
