Seledl Sweet Peas 



CULTURAL NOTE.— The seed should be 

 sown in_ new ground as earh- as it can be 

 worked in the spring to enable the vines to 

 make a good, strong growth before the hot 

 weather sets in. White-seeded sorts should 

 not be sown untitl the ground is comparatively 

 dry and warm. Fall plantings give the best 

 bloom; plant in September and October, 4 to 

 6 inches deep, giving slight protection, and 

 they will become well rooted and grow off 

 at the first opening of spring and yield an 

 abundance of bloom earlier and for a longer 

 season than if planted in the spring. Use 

 plenty of well-rotted manure, and don't gather 

 the blooms grudgingly — the more you pick 

 them the longer and better they will bloom.
