COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



W 



This flower has become very popular the last few years. The following list contains the CREAM of 

 named varieties and has been selected with a ^'ie^v to please the most critical, 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas will grow anywhere, but will give best results on clay soil; a good method 

 is to select your bed the previous fall, enrich vrith thoroughly rotten manure and spade bed deeply; 

 this- will leave ground in nice shape for early planting. Do not spade ground in spring, as a stiff, firm 

 soil is best; never use fr^sh manure. Early in spring sow your seed in double rows about 10 inches 

 apart. Hollow out drills, so that they will be about 2 or 3 inches deep in stiff clay, and 4 or 5 inches 

 deep in light loose soil; firm soil in the trench with the foot. On this sow your seed twice as thick 

 as you want them to stand in row, cover seed about two inches deep and firm soil. 



Do not hill up, as it is better to have a slieht depression, so as to catch most of the water after 

 rains. Thin plants to 2 inches apart before they commence to vine. Iloe only shallow between plants. 

 For support use poultry wire or brush. For a long season of bloom, mulch and water in drj' weather, 

 and pluck flowers freely, as they soon stop blooming if you let seed form.
