BEST UP-TO-DATE SWEET PEAS 



Our Splendid New Sweet Peas are the prettiest and most satisfactory flowers you can have. They grow easily and bloom 

 very quickly. We offer the sweetest and most beautiful varieties in existence, at very little prices. They do well every- 

 where; bloom abundantly and give pleasure to all. 



The Culture is very simple — Plant the seed three or four inches deep, in the most convenient place you happen to have, 

 very early in the Spring — just as early as possible — February, March, April or May, according to the season and locality. 

 Keep the ground loose and mellow, give the young plants good support to climb on — wire netting, twine or brush. Keep 

 the flowers picked off clean every day as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloom abundantly for many 

 weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction. 



NOTE — Our regular 5c pkts. of Sweet Peas each contain from 80 to 90 seeds, enough for a single row six feet long; an 

 ounce contains from 300 to 360 seeds, according to size, and is sufficient for a single row 25 feet long, and i lb. is enough for 

 100 feet of row. See Prices at foot of this page and Special Offer No. 117, on opposite page.
