The wonderful ad- 

 vance made in the size, 

 substance and variety 

 of colors in Sweet Peas 

 in the past few years, 

 have placed it in the 

 first rank among: flow- 

 ering- plants. But few 

 plants are easier grown 

 and grown in masses of 

 separate colors or in 

 mixture their beauty 

 and fragrance cannot 

 be surpassed. 



We have made the se- 

 lection of choice varie- 

 ties of Sweet Peas a 

 specialty and offer in 

 our list an assortment 

 that cannot be excelled. 



Culture.— Sweet Peas should be sown in drills, as 

 early as possible in Spring, in rich, friable soil. Pre- 

 pare the bed thoroughly, working in a quantity of 

 well rotted manure, if it can be done, making a furrow 

 four to six inches deep. In this sow the seed and 

 cover two inches deep. As soon as the plants begin 

 to show through, fill in the furrow. This will secure 

 a deep planting without the bad effect of deep cover- 

 ing of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to 

 bloom continuously through the heat of summer. 

 As fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade, 

 they should be cut off, for if the pods are allowed to 

 form, the plants will stop blooming.
