M.-S. Select Sweet Peas 
For Sweet Pea Inoculation, see page 25. All Sweet Peas postpaid 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 25 feet of row 

The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep. A good loam, with plenty of well-rotted 
manure in it, is ideal for raistng good plants that will produce plenty of blooms of good sub- 
stance. Considerable benefit has been noted from the use of Inoculating Culture. We can 
supply a special culture for Sweet Peas for 10c—enough for any ordinary garden. Place in a 
position fully exposed to the sunlight and air on both sides of row. 
They should be sown as early in the season as the ground can be worked, which is usually 
between the middle of March and the middle of April in the latitude of Baltimore, or they 
can be planted in October or November for earlier blooming. For fall planting, they must be 
planted 6 inches deep; in spring, 2 Inches deep. As soon as they are above ground, thin out to 
2 to 4 inchés apart; when planted too close they do not attain their full development. They 
should be staked up, either with branches of brush or stout stakes on which wire netting has 
been fastened. These should be at least 4 feet high, and 5 feet would be better. The flowers 
sheald be cut as often as possible to prevent running to seed, which would cause them to stop 
ooming.

M.-S. Winter-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
While these are especially adapted for 
forcing under glass for winter and early spring 
blooming, they are also valuable for outdoor 
culture, coming into bloom five to six weeks 
earlier than the regular Spencer or Orchid- 
flowered type, and if the flowers are kept cut, 
they will continue to bloom for a long time.
