 One Ounce for 30 to 40 feet of row 



THE SPEKCEBS are of exceptionally large size, the 

 petals waved and frilled and the general effect remark- 

 ably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous 

 growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the 

 Grandiflora sorts. 



CTJIiTTTBE. — Grow named varieties of the colors yon 

 like best; know them by name in your grarden and yon 

 will derive mnch. more pleasure from them. Early in the 

 spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, 

 mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it 

 and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only 

 one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, 

 cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. 

 When the plants are about five inches high they should 

 be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water 

 should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early 

 in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be 

 picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop 

 flowering. Fall sowing has proven very desirable in the 

 vicinity of Baltimore by preparing the ground in October 

 and sowing the seed in November. Plant about 4 in. deep 

 and after the ground is frozen hard, mulch with 3 or 4 

 in. of light litter. Remove the mulch very early in the 

 spring.
