Liberal Use of Seeds.

Many seedsmen advocate dropping
the seeds and spacing them, afterward
thinning the young plants, but expert
ence has shown that the seeds should
be sown literally. without thinning the
plants out since the growth will
shelter the bases of the vines at
time when the heat Gin the early
sprng) is most severe.
To those who desire to specialize
with sweet peas, it would be well to
use the nitrogen fixing bacteria as a
plant stimulant. in view of the excel
lent results obtained by the writer
during the spring of 1909.
The early blooms must not be per-
mitted to go to seed" but must be
kept cut: these are the long stemmed
blossoms AS the blooms continue the
stems become shorter and shorter, until
the occurrence of the late ones. which
have hardly any stem at all. which
should be permitted to seed" for the
