Sweet Peas 
Culture: Sow seed as soon as the ground can 
be worked in the spring. Dig a trench about a 
foot wide and deep, and fill in with 6 inches of 
well-rotted stable manure; tread down firmly and 
- replace the good garden soil. Draw a single straight 
line in the middle of the prepared surface, about 
%4 inch deep; sow seed at even distances of about — 
3 inches, and cover. When the plants grow about 
-3 or 4 inches high, thin out to 6 inches from each 
other. As soon as the vines reach a height of about 
8 inches, proper supports should be provided. Sup- 
ports can be wire netting, branches, etc. The Sweet 
Pea is a moisture-loving plant, and by the month 
of May the plants will require water. When water- — 
ing is required, soak the trenches thoroughly. Dress — 
with peat moss or old stable manure. The seed — 
may be soaked in water for a day.
