SWEET PEAS. 



We offer a very fine assortment of 

 these beautiful, fragrant and very- 

 popular flowers. We have these grown for us under the 

 most favorable conditions as to soil and climate, and the 

 quality of our stock is unexcelled. Sweet Peas should be 

 sown very late in the fall, or as early in spring as possi- 

 sible. The soil should be rich, the drills six inches deep. 

 Cover first about an inch, and as the plants grow fill in 

 until the drill is full.
