"GLENDALE'' 



NEW VARIEGATED CARNATION. 



Markings similar to Mrs. G. M. Bradt. A VERY LARGE FLOWER ON STRONG STEMS, 

 EXTREMELY FREE AND HEALTHY. A NON-BURSTER. A fancy of the highest type. 



Sample blooms expressed at $(.00 per doz* All otir carnations have been rather late this season 

 as elsewhere. That is the reason we have not been advertising "GLENDALE'' as well as other 

 varieties more extensively. 



ROOTED CUTTINGS, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.

SWEET PEAS AND ASTERS. 



We have a house planted with sweet 

 peas. The seed was sown last September. 

 They have not done very well. We will 

 hold on to them until Easter and after 

 that we want to put in a crop of asters 

 and would like to know what kind would 

 be the best and if they will be out of the 

 way in time to sow mignonette in the 

 same house. The house has solid beds 

 and we think it will be all right for the 

 mignonette, but would like to get some- 

 thing from the house this summer before 

 sowing the mignonette seed. A. & S. 



Possibly you did not sow the right sort 

 of sweet peas to produce winter flowers. 

 If you sowed the old type of peas, such 

 as Emily Henderson or Blanche Ferry 

 and you have up to date cut no flowers, 

 it is not likely you will get anything like 

 a paying crop until early May and the 

 Easter harvest will be over. Zvolanek 'a 

 strain of sweet peas are the only ones we 

 could ever get into flower in the dark 

 midwinter months. We sowed at the end 

 of August and have been picking nice 

 flowers for a month past. When we grew 

 the old varieties and got no flowers till 

 the end of April we cut such a fine lot 

 during May and June that we considered 

 it paid. They had not taken up valuable 

 bench room and the flowers sold well and 

 in quantity. There are few sweet peas 

 picked outdoors in our locality before 

 July 1 and the indoor-grown flowers are 

 in brisk demand. 



I should advise you to take care of 

 the peas and leave them in and not bother 

 with the asters. By the time the asters 

 were done would be late for mignonette. 

 The latter should be sown from the mid- 

 dle to the end of July. The solid bed 

 wijl suit your mignonette. Five or six 

 inches of soil on a raised bench will grow 

 mignonette, but it will not be equal in 

 strength or stoutness of spikes to that 

 grown on a solid bench. W. S.
