Hints 
on Sweet Peas. 
Sew seed during cool 
weather, whenever the 
ground is mellow, in 
late autumn, winter or 
early spring. Plant 2 
to 4 inches beneath the 
suriace. in rich soil. 
This will insure blos- 
soms during nearly the 
whcle summer. Flow- 
ers must Le cut daily to 
insure longest period 
of kloom. There has 
been much complaint 
lately about the failure 
of California- grown 
sweet peas to germi- 
rate, no such com- 
plaints reach me con- 
cerning the choice 
stock seeds which I 
send out. I now have 
the best and the cheap- 
est sweet pea seed on 
the market. I test 
everything but list 
those new sorts 
which have distinctive 
characteristics. Every 
well-marked standard 
type known to the hor- 
ticu:turai world is to be 
tound in my assort- 
ment: if not, it is be- 
cause I have discarded 
it tor something better, 
with the same general 
characteristics.
