STOKES SWEET 

 PEASO 



The sweet pea is so well 

 known to every gardener 

 that a description is super- 

 fluous. There are so many 

 varieties of this flower that 

 it would require a fairly 

 large book to describe them. 

 We are limiting ourselves to 

 a selection of varieties which 

 our past experience has 

 shown to be in most demand. This consists of all the usual colors, 

 together with some new and attractive shades. 



Culture. A highly fertile, well-drained loam with plenty of decayed 

 manure is requisite for the best results. In the latitude of Phila- 

 delphia seed may be sown from March 15th to April 15th, depending 

 on the weather. The seed is usually sown in rows. Make a furrow 



4 inches deep and sow the seed as you would garden peas. Cover 

 the seed about one inch deep and when the seedlings are 3 inches in 

 height, thin out to 4 inches apart. As sweet peas are climbers, they 

 must have support. While trellises, wires or cords are excellent, 

 brush will give the best results. The support should be at least 



5 feet high. When in bloom cut the flowers as often as possible, not 

 letting them run to seed, which prevents further blooming.
