EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER MIXTURE. These 
bloom two weeks before the standard Spencer varieties, 
but with the same large, waved flowers. They have 
replaced the standard Spencers in greenhouse planting 
and, though they do not grow quite as tall, their earli¬ 
ness and long season of bloom make them invaluable 
in outdoor planting, particularly in the short seasoned 
north. Pkt., 10c; oz., 80c; ^4 lb., 90c; % lb., $1.65; 
1 lb., $3.00.

I have ordered my Sweet Pea Seed from you for sev¬ 
eral years, so you may feel sure that I am well satisfied. 
I never fail to tell where I get my seed when people ask 
me. 
Last year, in spite of the hot dry summer, my vines 
were fully six feet tall and covered on both sides with 
gorgeous blooms. We poured a five gallon can of water 
on them every other evening. Everyone who saw them 
said they had never seen such healthy looking vines and 
such large flowers. 
Yours sincerely, 
MRS. RALPH SISLER, 
Grand Rapids, Minn. 
The Sweet Pea plant or vine succeeds best in 
cool, moist, yet well drained soil. To secure the 
longest possible season of bloom the seed must 
be planted early. The best mode of planting is 
the trench method. The trench is dug two feet 
deep and two feet wide, and filled nearly' to the 
surface of the ground with a mixture of well 
rotted manure and rich soil, with a six-inch 
layer of soil at the top. The seed should be 
sown, two inches deep, at the rate of one ounce 
to twenty feet. During dry weather the ground 
should be thoroughly soaked once or twice each 
week. A light spraying of the vines in the eve¬ 
ning during hot weather will be found beneficial, 
and the earth should at all times be kept loose 
about the plants to a depth of two inches. 
Sweet Peas should be cut early in the morning 
and the more closely the flowers are kept cut off 
the longer will be the period of bloom. Remem¬ 
ber, the vines quickly wither if allowed to pro¬ 
duce any great amount of seed. Spray thoroughly 
and often to prevent infection by aphis.
