Mijcfureo' of SWeet Fea^ 



Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting Sweet Peas in mixture than from growing named sorts, but to be 

 successful it is necessary that the seed be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is offered as mixed seed is stock har- 

 vested from plants that have come up as volunteers on ground where Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of seed 

 which has been grown, saved or handled so carelessly that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. The use of such seed 

 will not give satisfactory results. However, where the seed is grown from the very best stock that can be produced, is 

 mixed in most carefully studied proportions, and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, there is noth- 

 ing superior for use in the home garden. 



/^ Y\f\\c*f^ M i 'V tf^ rfl ^® assure our customers the mixed Sweet Pea seed which we offer is the result of as 

 VJI ■\-Fi\j'v7 1 lln^CrfJ great care in breeding and selecting as any stock we grow, and as fine flowers are 

 obtained from it as from any seed that can be bought. We invite comparison of our mixture with any and all others, no 

 matter under what name or at how high a price offered, and are certain a trial will demonstrate its superiority. Pkt. 5c:

Cupidf or Diefarf Stifeef 7*eas 



When the Cupid Sweet Pea was introduced, it seemed to most people that its distinct habits had so delighted its propa- 

 gators that they had exaggerated its value, but continued trial demonstrates that in those localities where the conditions of 

 soil and climate are favorable for its best development, it is even more valuable than was claimed. For growing in pots, 

 for edgings and bedding, the Dwarf Sweet Peas are a valuable addition to our flowering plants. They require no support, 

 but form a low, compact bush covered with large, finely formed flowers. 



CULTURE— Cupid Sweet Peas require a well drained, rich soil, and care should be taken that the seed is not covered to 

 exceed one inch in depth, and that the surface soil does not become caked or hard. Sow in a sunny situation somewhat 

 later than other Sweet Peas, and give each plant plenty of room. The white seeded varieties are especially liable to rot if 

 exposed to extreme moisture. They germinate best in moist, sandy soil. If such is not available, a little damp sand should 

 be placed in the bottom of a trench and the seed embedded in it and then covered to a depth not exceeding one inch. Place 

 a board over the row, supported two or three inches above the soil, so as to afford protection from rain and sun. Be care- 

 ful to remove the board as soon as the young plants begin to appear.
