THREE NEW BURPEE SWEET PEAS 
FOR 1934 
ANGLO: A pleasing new Sweet Pea with unique coloring 
effect. In the bud stage one thinks that at last the elusive 
yellow Sweet Pea has arrived. As the flower opens we find 
a somewhat subdued yellow or vigorous primrose with a 
beautiful edging of pink carried high up on the standard 
and wings. The reverse of the standard is pink extending 
down to the base of the petal. The lovely large flowers 
are always duplexed and waved and are carried on fine 
long stems. A vigorous grower. Pkt. 25c. 
ATLANTIC: There is a warm softness to this variety that 
is appealing. The geranium-pink color is suffused through¬ 
out with amber. A new effect is given by the lace-like 
netting of cherry bloom pink that adds to the attractive¬ 
ness of the flower. Entirely distinct and especially beauti¬ 
ful under artificial light. Pkt. 25c. 
Two New Ferry-Morse Sweet Peas 
RED BOY: Richest and brightest crimson variety yet intro¬ 
duced. the standard and wings being alike in color. A 
strong grower with long stems, carrying four splendid 
flowers. Pkt. 15c.

glistening salmon shaded shrimp pink, and quite sunproof.

CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS 
CULTURE. Sweet Peas require good soil and plenty of 
water. On Puget Sound they may be planted in October, for 
early spring flowering. Most seasons they come through 
without any protection, but a few inches of straw placed on 
the row will insure sufficient protection against the frosts 
usually experienced here. Plant in the Spring as early as the 
ground can be worked. 
The best method of planting is to dig a trench 12 to 18 
inches deep. If the soil is not good, remove the poor soil 
and replace with a good quality, using plenty of fertilizer, 
which should be well mixed with the soil, filling up the 
trench to within three or four inches of the top. On top of 
this mixture of soil and fertilizer, place about one inch of 
good mellow soil without any manure or fertilizer in it, on 
which to sow the seed. Cover the seed one-half to one inch 
with soil, a half inch being preferable. The trench should 
always be kept open an inch or two from the top in order 
that water used will lead to the plants. ^5weet Peas require 
more moisture than most other plants, and whenever it Is 
necessary to water them, soak them thoroughly. When the 
seeds are well up, thin them out and when grown to one 
or two inches, fill in some more soil around them. 
When the Peas are in bloom they should, unless grown for 
seed, be cut every day. If this is done they will produce bet¬ 
ter blooms on longer stems and blossom profusely all through 
the season. 
One ounce will plant a 10 to 15 foot row.
