Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas owe their enormous popularity to their delicious fra¬ 
grance and captivating grace. They have little or no merit for garden 
decoration and few or no superiors as cut-flowers. The plants are vines 
which may reach 5 to 6 feet. Their flowers are borne on long, stiff 
stems from the axils of the leaves, in clusters of three or four. Much 
effort and enthusiasm have been devoted to improving Sweet Peas, and 
the modern varieties which we offer here exemplify the advance which 
has been made. All inferior varieties have been discarded, and only 
the best of the new retained. Our customers may depend on getting 
i only the very finest largest-flowering varieties. It is important that 
| Sweet Peas should be planted early in deeply prepared soil. Late 
1 March or early April is an excellent time. The seed should be sown at 
r the bottom of a 6-inch trench which is filled in as the seedlings grow, 
thus insuring that the roots lie deep in the cool soil. They should be 
cultivated regularly, watered during dry weather, and the flowers 
should be religiously picked every day in order to prevent the formation 
of seed. It will pay to inoculate the seed before sowing with Stimugerm.
