a e . . : 
(Lathyrus latifolius) An easily grown, hardy perennial climber with smaller flowers 
P eas, Everlasting lacking the fragrance of Sweet Peas, but producing for many weeks a succession of 
blossoms in clusters of eight to ten each. Only a few flowers can be expected the second season but in the third and fourth, 
the plants then being well established, an abundance of foliage and blooms is atforded. The plants die down late in the 
fall and start again in the spring. 
Sow the seed outdoors early in spring, using well prepared soil and covering the seed about one inch deep with fine 
soil firmly pressed down. The perennial sorts are suitable for covering stumps and fences, and on a trellis will often grow 
five to six feet. 
Mixed. Includes white, rose and purple flowers. OZ. 75C.....scessscsscnececcccsccccssssccsccccersccsscocccccsccssssocess Pkt. 10¢.

(Peony Roots are listed in our autumn Bulb Catalogue.) 
e Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. They are also used along walks and driveways 
and are often grown in window boxes. Their richness of color, duration of bloom and culture 
unla will always make them popular. They endure drought exceptionally well. The seed we offer is 
the result of careful hybridization and can be depended upon to give as largea proportion of 
double flowers as any. 
In some strains the flowers are very large, measuring four to five inches across; in others, they are deeply fringed; still 
others have star-like markings radiating from the throat and extending nearly or quite to the outer margin of the blossom; 
again, others have full, double flowers. The colors range from white to deep red-purple and are variously striped and 
blotched. 
Plant the seed, which is exceedingly fine, in a warm, open, sunny place. Seeds may be sown directly in the oper ground or 
for early results the plants may be started in cold-frame, hot bed or in pots indoors, in a temperature averaging sixty to 
seventy degrees. Water with a fine spray and 
do not permit the seedlings to dry out. The 
plants are tender and should not be trusted in 
the open until danger of frost is over. Any 
good, friable garden soil, well pulverized and 
in good condition may be used, and the seed 
covered with about one-eighth to one-fourth 
inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. The 
rows should be two feet apart. Thin to eighteen 
inches apart. The plants begin to bloom when 
small and continue until cut off by frost. 
Tender perennial, blooming the first year; 
about one and one-half feet high. 
Petunias may also be grown under glass in 
winter. The best method is to sow seeds late 
in summer and grow stocky plants in pots, but 
old plants can be lifted on the approach of 
cold weather, cut back and taken inside for 
winter bloom.
