Peas, Everlasting 



(Lathyrus tatifolius) An easily grown, hardy perennial climber with smaller flowers 

 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 afforded. 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 with rose predominating. Oz. 60c ,

Petunia 



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 easy 

 culture 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 large a 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 Dlossom; 

 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 open 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 oe 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 rowsshould 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.
