Sweet Peas 



CUIvTURE. — Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early as possible in spring in rich, friable 

 soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it can be done, making a 

 furrow one to six inches deep. In this sow the seed and cover two inches deep. As soon as the plants 

 begin to show through, fill in the furrow. This will secure a deep planting without the bad effects 

 of deep covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom continuously through the heat 

 of summer. As fast as the flowers come into full bloom or made they should be cut off, for if the 

 pods are allowed to form the plants will stop blooming In the selection and growing of our Sweet 

 Peas we have obtained the services of one of the leading expert Sweet Pea growers in the world, who 

 has made the growing, propagation and developing of grand, new, elegant varieties of Sweet Peas 

 one of the highest aims of life. We, therefore, commend our extra superior varieties to you with the 

 assurance that if you plant them you will have, without exception, the finest collection of colors and 

 varieties of Sweet Peas of any one in your locality, which we put up in papers containing seeds of the 

 following varieties;
