gated with other shades, forming large trusses of

Sweet Williams is very attractive the last of June 
and the first of July, at a time when but few other 
flowers are in blossom. Hardy perennial. Height 18

SWEET PEAS 
New Early Flowering Spencers 
Every garden should have a row of Sweet Peas. 
A nice row of them will provide you with a beau¬ 
tiful boquet day after day. Plant them early, give 
them good rich soil, pick the blossoms every day and 
you will be richly rewarded for your trouble. 
CULTURE—Sweet Peas do best in good, rich soil 
that is inclined to be a little clayey. Fall is the best 
time to prepare the soil, especially if manure is 
used. Pea vines like moist soil and often the heat 
originated by the manure combined with the heat 
from the sun is too much for the vines. They turn 
yellow and die. Use a good commercial fertilizer or 
else apply the manure in the fall. Dig a trench a 
foot deep and about 16 inches wide and mix in this 
about six inches of top soil with good manure or 
commercial fertilizer. Plant the seeds in this trench 
in two rows, dropping the seeds about two inches 
apart. Cover two inches deep and then gradually 
fill the trench as the plants grow. The trench should 
be made so that water will drain off. The seed 
should be planted just as early in the spring as 
possible as late sowing produces rank growth but 
few flowers. Provide a trellis, wire or brush for the 
vines to climb on and pick the flowers every day. 
An application of bone dust and nitrate of soda will 
hasten the blooming time. 
If you want your Sweet Peas to do wonderfully 
well use Nitragin. Garden size, 20c. 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS
