Sweet Pea 
SWEET PEAS 
Seed should be sown in September, October, November, January and February. Have the 
dirt drawn toward the peas, or some bush or straw put along each side of the rows during 
severe weather. This will protect them and you will have peas in bloom early in the spring. 
To have best results with Sweet Peas it is a good idea to dig a trench about 10 to 15 inches 
deep and about 6 inches across. Fill this trench with good rich soil to within about six inches 
of the top, then plant the Sweet Peas thinly in the trench, covering them about two inches 
deep. As the peas begin to grow the trench can be gradually filled up. If the peas are too 
thick, thin them out. After they have a good start, a trellis of some kind should be used so 
that the peas can have something to climb on. In order to have the peas bloom a long time, 
the flowers should be gathered regularly and given plenty of water during the flowering season. 
THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the standard and wings waved or 
frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and attractive. The plants are of 
vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts. The 
Spencers are decidedly shy seeders, hence the price will doubtless always be higher than 
for the older types.

VERBENA 
This well known annual of low growing decum¬ 
bent habit of growth is very desirable for massing 
in beds on the lawn. It is suitable also for borders 
and window boxes. Large clusters of showy flow¬ 
ers are borne in succession through a long season 
until frost. Each truss or cluster is about two or three inches across, and includes a dozen or 
more single flowers about three-fourths of an inch across, tubular with five spreading lobes. The 
length of stem and texture of the flowers make them of value for bouquets and table decorations. 
There is a wide range of colors, shades and stripes usually running from pure white to deep purple.
