CHEVALIER is one of the finest, if not the finest of ALL Sweet 
Peas. Produces a bigger crop of flowers than any other variety, the 
flowers are of a lovely color and extra large, they are carried on 
strong stiff stems of a length no one ever did see before in Sweet 
Peas. Every grower that tried Chevalier cannot find enough words 
of praise. We are praising Chevalier in order that no customer of 
ours will overlook it when ordering. 
SWEET PEAS under glass. Good drainage, the soil worked 18 
inches deep or deeper, enriched with 30% of rotted cow manure and 
tramping down the soil FIRMLY is the key of success. Also 6 to 
8 ft. of headroom. 
Soak the soil thoroughly before sowing. Few days after that, 
when che soil is only moderately moist sow in rows running, north 
and south and cover the seed 2 inches deep. Sow in shallow trenches 
2-3 in. deep, fill up these trenches with dirt about 45 days after 
planting. NEVER sow in wet or loose soil. Have the rows 15-18 
in. apart. Start watering only when the seeds are half inch out of 
the soil then water only about once a week soaking the soil thor¬ 
oughly. Thin out to at least 6 in. apart in the rows. When the 
plants begin to bloom use liquid cow manure once a week. Keep 
the soil stirred, do not allow any crust to form. In the fall when 
the weather is cloudy some of the buds will be dropping. To min¬ 
imize this trouble keep the house on the dry side, STOP WATERING 
wait till the top soil Is dry 3-5 in. deep, then pour water in trenches 
made between rows of plants so that water will reach the roots 
from underneath. Ventilate all you can but avoid drafts. Draft is 
fatal to all greenhouse crops. Sow in September to get a heavy crop 
of bloom for Christmas. Always soak the seed for 6-10 hours, use 
only swelled seed and chip or Ale seeds that did not swell up, drop 
them back into water, sow when they are swelled up. SWEET 
PEAS OUTDOORS—About the middle of March place 6 seeds in a 
4 in. pot thin out later, leaving only 3 strongest plants. Place pots 
in cold frame, field plant early in May, do not allow your plants to 
suffer from lack of moisture, mulch when hot weather sets in, have 
the plants 10-15 inches apart in the rows. Remove all poor flowers 
promptly.
