SWEET PEAS 



Sweet Peas have been frequently referred to as the poor man's 

 Orchid solely because of the abundance of blooms, the colors which 

 may be likened to those found in the rarest Orchids. 



America for years has been looked upon as headquarters for seed 

 of this beautiful climbing annual, and with the result that there 

 is now in cultivation hundreds of named varieties. 



We are fortunate in having close acquaintance with all the noted 

 producers of Sweet Pea seed. So we have gone over the long list 

 of varieties repeatedly and now offer under color classification what 

 we consider the best of their respective classes- 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early as possible in 

 spring in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly, digging in a quan- 

 tity of well-rotted manure, if it can be done, making a furrow 1 to 6 inches 

 deep. In this sow the seed and cover 2 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 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 

 t Sweet Pea growers in the world, who
