Sweet ✓`yea Gultur0

• By C. Mortimer Bezzo
••
•1s•••••••••••••••••••••O•o weenie•••••••••••••••••• o
At this time of the year with the
lengthening of the days and the in- •
creasing'heat of the sun,when verdant
life is soon to be aroused from its long
winter sleep the lover of the beautiful
in nature begins to make plans -for the
beautifying; of the home sut'i'oundings
in the way of houlevards,green swards
and flower beds, Itis difficult -to con-
ceive of•a pastime more healthfuland.
recreative mentally •and physically ;
.more -.elevating. hotelleetuallss and -mor-
ally, than the cultivation of flowers.
It is here that we get 'close to nature
and hear thevoice of the Creator say-
ing "Awake" and in the awakening we
hear.'the plaintive cry of departing life
and the joyous note of newborn .life de-
manding nourishment to sustain itself.
Nature responds to the demand, The
winds sigh .and give it air ; the dews
descend and give it drink ; the sun
shines and imparts warmth and light.
To assist nature in ministering to the
wants of this new creation, to watch
it grow• from an apparently inanimate
seed into leaf and branch and develop
into the full grown plant crowned with
magnificent bloom awakens in one's
bosom sentiments, the purest conceiv-
able, aspirations the loftiest imaginable
such as can be appreciated only by
these who have experienced them.
"Flowers are God's 'smiles" once said
an: eminent divine, and true,' they radi-
ate their light and brightness wher-
ever they are, found. on the hill and in.
the vale, in the forest fastness and the
meadow field, along the country ,way
aids and the well•kept town and city
garden, but, nowhere more than in the
sick chamber, where most other forms
of light and brightness. seem to be ex-
cluded. Give flowers to the sick and
the pleasure is' enhanced sin 'hunched'
told both for the giver and the recip-
tent by the fact that they were grown
by you. .
A history of the sweet pea from the
year A. D. 1700 when it was first intro-
duced into England from Sicily on
down through' the years 'to the close of
the last century when theEckfcrds and
Burpees gave us the prepen t grandiffora
type would be of interest. But much
as we may be tempted, time and space
compel us to restrain our desire in'that
direction and confine. our attention to
the cultivation of. this most beautiful
flower. •
The first essential is good seed. Last
year several persons drew the writer's
attention to the fact that their sweet
peas did not grow, and inquired the
cause,- Clearly the clause lay in the
fact that the seed was no good. Those
who buy •sweet pea seed that has no
other known merit than being cheap,
cannot expect to get seed. of the high-
est germinating quality, or that which
will produce the finest type of bloom.
As before said good seed is absolutely
necessary to successful sweet pea cul-
ture, no matter' how closely the best
cultural directions ever printed may
he followed. • -
Many ways of growing this flower:
during the past two decades have been
advocated. A few years ago in the
Southern and. Middle States, what is
known as the trenching system struck
the sweet ea enthusiasts•
and it struck
p ,
many of them hard before they. were
through with it. Trenches two or
three feet deep were dug, with Six in
rhes of stone placed in the bottom. for
drainage, the balance being filled with
alternate layers of manure and"rich
soil. This method had not been ,in
vogue many years when . a great _.icry
arose. Blight had struck the sweet
pease -something never heard of before
Rev. W. T. Iiutcheson,tlae great sweet
pea expert, was the first to direct at-
tention to the cause. Ha declared that
the trenching system, which was noth-
ing short cif a hotbed had so debilitat-
ed the successive generations of the
plant by forcing it into an .unnatural
growth, that it was susceptible to at-
tack from disease, and had not suffi-
cient Vitality to withstand it. We in
Canada were more fortunate as our
summers are cooler than in the South-
ern States. Neveitheless, even in this
country, if treneli grown sweet peas
were to propagate their owin kind, the
time would soon c me when the sweet
mea as we knave t to -day would be
own no more f lever. But as this I
system is not no xr in vogue among
commercial gra rs, triose who 'buy
their seed • may ,fely practice it on a
limited kale her in the cooler climate
As early in the spring lie the ground
can be worked select a part of the gar-
den affording good drain.ge and plenty'
ot'sunshine (t,ut on the south side df a
high board fence or.tva11),' and there
dig a trench about '18 inche s wide and.
as many deep: Into this put a liberal
quantity of. well rotted Manure and an
equal quantity of earth, and 'mix well
together, Mix•,until it looks like earth
often which tramp it down firmly with
the -•-feet.--Repeat•>-thisem•-ufi'til-- w•ithin-
aboutitwo inches of the ,top. If hone=
meal can be obtained it is preferable to
manure for' mixing with the top layer
of earth. Swept peas like a firm soil—
, nota hard and flinty soil that the" roots.
cannot penetrate,but one that compels
the roots to exert themselves in push-
ing their way downward. This exper-
ience contributes very materially to
the development .of the. whole vine.
Bence the reason for first digging the
earth to take away. the flinty nature
and tramping it to make it' firm.
Having prepared the bed, run two
drillsthrough he centre thro g t entre about foul`
inches apart and two deep. Sow the
seed evenly but rather thickly, say one
oz. to every fifteen feet of drill in order
goodstand, _ n
to sure as n and a th
en When e
young plants are .well st•irted ..if qual-
ity is preferable to quantity -that is if
the very 'largest. and finest type of
bloom is desired thin out the plants to
stand one in a.place"and about three
inches :apart in the row. 'Cover the
seed with two inches of; the soil firm-
ing (not tramping) down .well with the.
foot or the flat of the hoe.
The first six weeks of the sweet pea's•
existence from the time of germination
is largely taken up with root forma-
tion -the building of that firm founda-
tion upon which the magnificent. super
•structure is to be reared. Herein is to
be found the reason for the vine not
sri owing 1(101(1 than four or five inches
in almost as many weeks after it first
appears above the `ground. At this
time do not give any water as there is
usually a sufficient amount in the
ground to supply all the moisture nes
cessary during this period. After the.
plants have been above . ground for
four or five weeks water may be given
with alavish hand, always thoroughly
soaking the ground but not frequent
enough to make the ground soggy.
Seep the surface soil loose to'a depth
of several inches by frequent hoeing,
which prevents evaporation and allows
theair to penetrate to the roots. When
the weather becomes hot and dry

depth of two inches,or half rotten
manure, pine needles or anything that
Will conserve the moisture byexclud-
ing the hot rays of the sun, while, at
the same time admitting the air, will
answer the purpose.
Give support to the vines veru early
For this --•`'purpose ordinary brush is
the most satisfactory as it . Minces the
Vines to grow in a more open way
than is possible by any other method
Poultry netting four feet high makes
a very good support. But in the hot
days of summer the wire is liable to
become so heated that it will burn
the tendrils. Stakes driven in the
ground every four feet with stout
tine running from one tothe
other
every six inches is preferable to wire
netting.
The sweat pea has but few enemies,
the two worst being the red spider
and the green aphis. The former
feeds on the under side of the leaves
turning them a dull grey color. Itis
each a minute thing that it can scarce-
ly be detected by the naked eye. A
fine spray from the hose applied with
considerable force to the underside is
the best remedy'. Soap suds may also
he used by those who have no system
of waterworks. The green aphis feeds
by sucking the juice from the tips of
the young shoots and 8,8' they multi
ply very rapidly will soon destroy all
the young growth unless measures
are taken to prevent' it, A good stiff
spray from the hose 'whenever the
peas are watered will keep thein in
check or they may be killed by spray
ing with suds of ivory whale oil or
kerosene soap,
