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 re- 

 sult that there is now in cultivation hundreds of named 

 varieties. 



We are fortunate in having close acquaintance with all 

 the noted producers of Sweet Peas 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 re- 

 spective 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 quantity 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 selec- 

 tion 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 devel- 

 oping 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,
