Weel Peas 
CULTURE.—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 effect of deep cover- 
ing of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom con- 
tinuously through the heat of summer. As fast as the flowers 
come into full bloom or fade they should be cut off, for if 
the pods are allowed to form the plants will stop blossoming. 
In the selection and growing of our sweet Peas we have ob- 
tained the services of one of the leading expert sweet pea 
growers in the world who has made the growing, propagating 
and developing of grand, new, elegant varieties of sweet 
peas one of the highest aims of life. We, therefore, com- 
mend our extra superior varieties to you, with the assur- 
ance that if you plant them you will have, without exception, 
the finest collection of colors and varieties of sweet peas of
