The ground should be prepared deep and rich. Fall preparation, where possible, is pref- erable, but if done in the spring, use no green manure. Bone meal is good if old rotted ma- nure can not be ob- tained. Sow early, even before the frost is out of the ground, as Sweet Peas need the cool,moist spring ground to make the root growth. In the latitude of Cincinnati, February is not too early. In the South, sow in the'fall. Sow !the seed in deep furrows, the bot- tom of which must be at least six inches below the level of the soil; this is to guard against a summer drought. Cover the seeds only one inch, after which the furrow is still five inches deep. When the plants are two or three inches high, fill in another inch or so of soil around the plants, always leaving a portion of the plant above the surface ; do this at intervals, until the furrow is nearly full; it should always remain a little hollow, to hold the rains, and to allow wrater to be applied by the bucketful in dry weather.
