Madison Spencer Sweet Pca» 



New ' 'Spencer' ' or Orchid-Flowering Sweet Peas 



Never more popular than today, and greatly im- 

 proved over the old types. A good plan is to sow them 

 in double rows, with a wire trellis or row of brush in 

 between. The seed should be put in about 5 inches 

 deep and 8 to 10 inches apart. Do not cover more than 

 2 inches deep at first, covering the vines by degrees as 

 they grow until the trench is filled with soil. Sow just 

 as earlv as the ground can be prepared, using bone meal 

 as a fertilizer. Keep them well picked and you will 

 have bloom for a long time.
