SWEET PEAS 



GRANDIFLORA 



SWEET PEAS should be sown in drills latter part of November for fall 

 planting, or as early as possible in spring, in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed 

 thoroughly, working in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it can be done, 

 making a furrow four 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 covering of the 

 seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom continuously 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 blooming.

BULBS FOR SPRING PLANTING 



GLADIOLI 



GLADIOLI are the most at- 

 tractive and useful for cut flowers 

 of all summer-flowering bulbs. 

 Use any good soil, hoe and loosen 

 it to keep down the weeds, and 

 with ordinary rainfalls they will 

 flower by July 1. Plant at 10- 

 day intervals for succession of 

 blooms from July to October. In 

 cutting Gladioli for the house, it 

 is best to cut the spikes as soon 

 as the first one or two lower 

 flowers are open. The remainder 

 will open in the house.

 finest Gladioli ever produced, and
