SUPERIOR FLOWER SEEDS 



SWEET PEAS 



CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE 

 One ounce for 50 feet of row. 



THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth, 

 its freedom cf bloom and extremely wide range of colors is 

 well suited for most conditions and locations. 



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. 



CULTURE. — 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. The follow- 

 ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being 

 those of the highest quality in their respective classes;
