BEST OUTDCX)R SWEET PEAS. 



What are the four best sweet peas for 

 outdoor summer blooming in white, pink, 

 lavender and purple? When should they 

 be sown and how many sowings can be 

 made of the above four colors to produce 

 continuous crops from early spring to 

 early frost? H. J. H. 



Dorothy Eckford, white; Countess 

 Spencer, pink; Lady Grisel Hamilton or 

 Frank Dolby, lavender, and Navy Blue, 

 dark blue, are excellent varieties of their 

 respective colors. If you should prefer 

 orange-pink or light rose-pink, you could 

 substitute Helen Lewis or Miss Willmott 

 for Clountess Spencer. The ground where 

 the peas are sown should be deeply 

 plowed and liberally manured and you 

 should sow the seed just as soon as pos- 

 sible after frost leaves the ground. The 

 earliest sowing always gives the finest 

 flowers, and if you sow thinly, or thin 

 the seedlings well when above the ground, 

 you will get the finest flowers and fewer 

 plants will die off. A second sowing, if 

 made, should be put in not later than 

 May 1, but my experience has been that 

 one sowing will suflSce for the season, if 

 these are well cared for. C. W. 



WELCOME. 



John Kent, of Knoxville, Tenn., sends 



the following, which he says was inscribed 



at the entrance of a garden which he had 



charge of in the old days in England: 



Welcome to Tlew the beautj of tbls place. 

 Raised by the gardener's skill on nature's face; 

 Then feast your eyes, for 'tis of pleasures full, 

 But no rude band may fruit or flowers pull; 

 For pulling fmlt without the Gardener's leave 

 Mankind waa mined by our Mother Eve.

Aphine Mfg. Co., Madison, N. J. 



Gentlemen: The "Aphine" parchased through yonr agents, 

 of Chicago, is certainly O. K. I have had aniversal snccess 

 with it both as a spray and as a dip. Have dipped plants in 

 fall bloom, snch as primnlas, cinerarias, roses, etc., with no 

 apparent ill effects on the plants or bloom*, bat with death 

 to the bags. 



Woald like to ask if yoa would consider it safe to ase on 

 edible vegetables, sach as cabbage, caaliflower, lettuce, etc.? 



There ought to be a large sale of "Aphine" when the people 

 become acquainted with it, and can be sure of obtaining the 

 results claimed. Yours very truly, 



0. D. STRATTON.

The Sulphur Burner. 



Prevent Mildew 



1909 brought out the PARAFFINE STTLPHUR LOZENGES. 



They are now recognized in every state of tlie country as the sensible 



and safe way to prevent and cure Mildew. 



Plorlst Carlson, of Western Ave., Cbioaao, says: 



" I have used Parafflne Bulpbur Lozenaes, and find them 

 to be an effectual remedy against mildew. Having tried all other 

 devices without success, I offer my opinion that the Parafflne Sul- 

 phur Iiozensre is tbe areateet invention In florioulture 

 in recent times." 



The Parafflne Sulphur Losenee has come to stay. Try It 

 and you will know why. Each lozenge fumigates 3000 feet of glass_ 



Packaae of S4 for $1.00; Sulphur Burner, $1.50.
