Spl endid New SWF FT 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 exist- 

 ence, at very little prices. They do well everywhere ; bloom abundantly and give delightful 

 pleasure to all. The flowers last a long time after cutting, and are highly prized for house and table 

 decoration. They should be planted in liberal quantity. We sell in any quantity desired, by the packet, 

 ounce or pound, and hope to have your orders this season. 



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.
