Wells St., Chicago Sweet Peas A deep, rich, moist soil is best suited to Sweet Peas, hence a trench should be dug 1% feet deep and filled with very best loam mixed with bone meal and pul- verized cattle manure. The vines are usually grown in double rows, with a wire trellis or a row of brush between. For each double row make the drills about 6 inches deep, and 9 to 10 inches apart. Sow plenti- fully, covering about 2 inches deep, and by degrees, as the vines grow up, fill the trenches with soil, and thin out to about 3 inches apart. Spring sowings should be made just as early as the ground can be prepared, white-seeded varieties should not be sown until the ground is fairly warm. Sweet Peas should not be grown on the same soil year after year. If the location cannot be changed, the soil to a depth and width of a foot or so should be removed and replaced by soil from another part of the garden. If the soil is in good, rich condition, bone meal is the best fer- tilizer. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering.
