FOR FALL 

 SOWING 



***************************************************************************************** 



IN THE SOUTH AND WHERE WINTERS ARE MILD, SWEET PEAS DO BEST WHEN SOWN IN THE FALL. 



The sweet Pea is a cool weather loving plant and therefore for best results in the South, on the Pacific Coast and in other mild winter localities, the seeds 

 should be sown in the fall or early winter. Even in the North the sowing of Sweet Peas in the fall is growing in popularity. When they are successfully 

 carried through the;-, winter they commence flowering much earlier and are larger, finer and more continuous bloomers than from spring sown seeds par- 

 ticularly when summer weather turns out hot and dry. The reason is that the plants from fall sown seeds develop a much better root system and therefore are 

 less susceptible to uncongenial conditions. Sweet Peas sown in the fall should be in raised beds or banked up if in rows so water will not stagnate around them 

 as it might cause them to rot and the seeds should be put in late enough so the seedlings will not get above ground — yet early enough so the seeds will germinate 

 which will require about 2 weeks. After the ground has a thin frozen crust then protect with a 6-inch mulch of straw, hay, leaves or similar material. 



To aid in selecting certain colors, we submit the following key: 



Should the name of some old favorite be missing, by referring to its color class a similar and better variety may be selected.
