PETER HENDERSON ftCO.,l\EW YORK- 



SWEET PEAS FOR FALL SOWING. 



THE Sweet Pea is a cool weather loving plan and therefore for best results in the South on the Pacific Coast and in other semi-tropical 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 put in late enough so the seedlings will not get above ground — yet early 

 enough so the seeds will germinate — the proper time with us being the latter part of November. After the ground has a thin frozen crust then protect with 

 a 6-inch mulch of straw, hay. leaves or similar material.
