FLOWER SEEDS 



Beckert's Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. 



Sweet Peas 



Improved varieties are coming thick and fast, and many old varieties must 

 of necessity be dropped from the list. Many of the Spencers are very grand 

 Sweet Peas, but not fully fixed in character and not so productive as the older 

 varieties. Their si/.e and form, however, render them very attractive and effec- 

 tive. Our stock is grown for us under most favorable conditions, and will be 

 found true to name and of excellent quality. 1 he seeds should be sown early in 

 spring; or, when the ground is not readily prepared in spring, fall sowing ma\ be 

 made, in which case the white-seeded varieties should be protected by mulch- 

 ing, kept in place by box-like frames. Or they may be started early in pots in 

 greenhouse or frame and planted out as early as the weather permits. White- 

 seeded varieties, which are more tender than the dark-seeded, should be sown 

 more thickly.
