QtArAtf^l- P<a5l« Hardy Annual. The Sweet Pea is now 



O iVCCl 1 ^{^e universal American spring flower. No 



garden is too small or too large for it. Its blooming season 

 extends from very early summer until the coming of the hot 

 weather and no other climber equals it for cutting or table 

 decoration. There are three general types: The Grandiflora, 

 which is the oldest type now offered, is very popular owing 

 to its vigor, growth, the freedom with which it blooms and its 

 variety of colors. The Spencers are slightly larger, and the 

 petals are waved and frilled very gracefully. The fact that 

 they are very light seeders makes them more expensive than 



SWEET PEAS, continued 



the Grandiflora sorts. 1 he third type is the newer Early- 

 flowering group, of which we oiler very high-grade mixture. 

 Sweet Peas are very hardy and may be planted in the latitude 

 of New Jersey during the last weeks in March, weather 

 permitting. Sow the seed in rows and cover under 3 inches 

 of good, fertile soil. Thin to 4 inches apart. A trellis or 

 brush of some kind must be arranged soon after they ap- 

 pear out of the ground. The support should be 4 or 5 

 feet high. Frequent cutting is desirable. One ounce of seed 

 is suflicient to plant a single row of 50 feet. Sometimes 

 Sweet Peas are planted outdoors in the fall during the 

 first two weeks of November, the planting being well 

 mulched immediately. 



Grandiflora Mixture. This, which is also referred to as 

 the Eckford class, is perhaps the most easily grown of any 

 of the Sweet Peas. They are also decidedly cheaper, but will 

 not, as a rule, bloom so long in the spring. This mixture con- 

 tains a splendid variety of colors. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 15 cts., li\h. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Spencer Mixture. This superb mixture contains many of 

 the varieties illustrated by the colored plate opposite. The 

 range of color is superb. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., }^lb. 

 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Early-flowering Spencer Mixture. This type will come 

 into bloom some three to four weeks before the regular 

 Spencers. The mixture offered is equally fint in every respect. 

 This Early-flowering type is becoming very popular and 

 profitable among commercial florists. Price, pkt. 15 cts., 

 oz. 75 cts., i^lb. $2.50.

 satisfactory for all general purposes. Our customers will note that the Windermoor Standard Mixture is sold

 mercy of unscrupulous dealers in the purchase of grass seed, for the layman is naturally not in a position 

 to closely analyze the seed which he buys. This mixture is made at Windermoor House, and we know what 

 goes into it. We welcome any analyst's examination of it. For a newly made lawn, sow one pound for every 

 500 square feet; 80 pounds will be sufficient to sow an acre. Price, lb. 60 cts., 3 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. $4.50,
