Sweet Peas 
Sweet peas attain in California a perfection almost unheard of in other ])arts of the country; the size, color 
and texture of the flower.s and the vigor of growth being truly remarkable. In addition the vitality of our 
California seed is from 30 to 60 per cent higher than that of the best English. These with other advan- 
tages first induced us to become sweet pea specialists. The acreage has been increased until we are now the 
largest growers of sweet pea seed in the world. 
Plant the seed in good garden soil from October to April at intervals for succession. Do not allow tliem 
to suffer for water and give some slight support. Cut the flower spikes freely, as the maturing of seeds 
greatlj' shortens the blooming seiuson. 
The latest novelties and all the standard varieties worth growing will be found in the following list.
