Sweet Peas 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS The soil for Sweet 
Peas should be rich and deep. The seed should 
be sown as early in the season as the ground 
can be worked, and in a position where the Peas 
will be fully exposed to sunlight and air on both 
sides of the row. It is best to make a trench or 
furrow about 6 inches deep, in the bottom of which 
sow the seed. Cover with about an inch of soil, 
pressing it down (Irmly. As soon as they are 
above ground, thin out to two to four inches 
apart; when planted too close they do not attain 
their full development. They generally are al- 
lowed to run upon a wire netting four to five 
feet high. 
During dry weather they should be watered 
thoroughly and frequently and given an appli- 
cation of liquid manure once a week. The flow- 
ers should be cut as often as possible, to pre- 
vent the plants from running to seed, which 
would stop them from continuing in bloom

Sweet Peas for Fall Planting 
Sowing in late November or early December in 
the open ground secures flowers earlier in the 
season than from seeds sown in Spring, and the 
root growth is stronger, so it carries a plant 
through a dry season better, and seasons of 
blooming are prolonged. 
Nasturtium 
NASTURTIUM. — It is doubtful if among the 
plants classed as Annuals, there is any other of 
the summer blooming varieties which combines 
in so great degree ease of culture, beautiful flow- 
ers of showy colors, profusion of bloom from 
early summer until killed by frost, and general 
excellence as Nasturtium. More and larger flow- 
ers are produced on thin soils. Hot weather has 
no injurious effect. In soils too rich, there is a 
tendency to run to foliage rather than flowers. 
In wet weather or locations the plants sometimes 
decay, especially if they are standing too close. 
TALL or CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS Sow in 
moderately good soil, preferably in a sunny po- 
sition, covering the seeds about one inch 'deep. 
Thin out the seedlings so that they stand ten or 
twelve inches apart. Furnish strings or trellises 
to which the plants can be trained. These plants 
may also be cultivated as trailers for hanging 
baskets and vases. ] 4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
DWARF or TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS 
Grand bedding plants. Their compact growth 
(about one foot), richly colored flowers, free 
blooming and long lasting qualities, have made 
them general favorites. Nothing makes a finer 
show in the garden. Sow in rows about a foot 
apart. Thin out the seedlings. >/ 4 lb., 30c; 1 lb.,
