TO BE SATISFIED ORDER FROM LANDRETH 

 Land reths' Sweet F*eas. 



Sow in permanent location, in single row, two seeds to the inch, half ounce of seeds to every yard of 



row; cover one inch^deep. 



■ The whole world is engaged in a further development of the Sweet Pea — a development as to size, color and stability, or 

 firmness of form. Horticultural Congresses are called together in London, Paris, Berlin and American cities at appropriate 

 seasons to admire the new forms, and to pass awards of merit to the credit of the successful breeder of new types. 



The American strains are the equal of any ; so superior that more Sweet Pea seed is grown in the United States than all 

 the rest of the world. 



Svyeet Peas can be grown as easily as the common garden Peas, simply requiring room and early starting— planted even 

 before the frost is out of the ground, sometimes the preceding Autumn, as with deep roots in a deep rich soil the season of 

 blooming is lengthened. They do best when trained to trestles made of string or wire. They should be thinned out about 

 one inch apart in rows, and if in parallel rows the rows should be five (5) feet apart. ' 



Any cultivator of Sweet Peas may be the fortunate one to discover a true golden yellow, heretofore not yet found. There 

 are lemon-tinted ones, but not an actual yellow. The finder of it among any lot of Seed Peas will be a prize-taker. Who 

 knows but that the grower of one hundred vines may find it before the grower of one thousand vines or an acre patch. 



Sweet Peas present a wide range of colors and, therefore, are most attractive by reason of their various tints, really every 

 color excepting a true yellow. 



Sweet Peas have a blooming period of about four weeks, consequently to provide for a longer season of flowering it is 

 advisable, where garden space permits, to make four or five sowings about two weeks apart, making the first sowing before 

 the frost is out of the ground. But the blooming season is only partially fixed according to date of sowing, for Nature is dis- 

 posed to run flowering time much together, \vhatever may have been the date of sowing the seeds. 



Sweet Peas always develop the largest and best flowers and continue longest in bloom under conditions 'of a rainy season, 

 or under irrigation. On the other hand hot, dry weather diminishes the size of flowers, causes them to fade, and induces the 

 vines to cease blooming, to soon dry up if n6t revived by rain, but after a good rain will make a display as attractive as at first. 



Whiie-seeded Sweet Peas are more delicate than the dark-seeded varieties, and under unfavorable conditions of soil and 

 rainfall or drought do not germinate as freely as dark-seeded, which are always hardy. 



Sweet Peas of any variety will generally bloom in 60 or 70 days after they germinate ; one ounce being sown to ten feet 

 of row.
