Culture. They are of the easiest culture, but the most 
important requisite to bear in mind is that they should 
be sown very early in the Spring in rich, well-pulverized 
soil. Dig a trench 18 inches deep and enrich with well 
rotted stable manure or bone meal. Plant in rows 6. 
inches deep. Sow the seed and cover 2 inches, pressing 
the soil down firmly. Plenty of sunlight and fresh air are 
essential to the success of Sweet Peas. 
As soon as the young seedlings are 2 inches high, 
thin out the young plants to 4 inches apart, as this will 
allow the air and light to circulate freely among the 
' growing vines, resulting in larger flowers, longer stems, 
better color and more blooms. Continue filling in 2 inches — 
of soil at a time until the trench is filled; the plants will 
then become thoroughly established to withstand warm 
weather and will continue flowering a much longer pe- — 
riod than if sown in the ordinary way near the surface. 
When the plants are about 5 inches high, it is desirable 
to furnish some support for the vines to run upon, pref- 
erably a wire netting firmly supported by stakes to 
prevent sagging; but strings or brush are used with 
satisfactory results. 
Summer mower ignenesnewe eee Peas 3 
week, preferably early: in the morning or in the 
evening after sundown, is usually better than a 
light sprinkling. ee 
Splendid results can be obtained in the Southern 
States by sowing in the Fall or early Winter. The 
plants become better established and the root. 
growth stronger, prolonging the blooming period. 
Sweet Peas should not be grown in same soil year 
_ after year. Another very important feature that 
must not be overlooked is the clipping off of the 
flowers as they mature and fade, for if they are 
allowed to remain, they form their seed pods and 
then mature and the vines die. 
The roots should not be allowed to become too 
dry. Water applied thoroughly once or twice a
