CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE 
One ounce for 50 feet of row. 
THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved 
and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. 
The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer 
time than the Grandiflora sorts. 
THE GRANDIFLORA type. owing to its vigor of growth, its 
freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors is well suited 
for most conditions and locations. 
CULTURE.—Grow named varieties of the colors you like best; 
know them by name in your garden and you will derive much 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 flower- 
ing. The following have been selected from hundreds of varieties, 
as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes.
