SWEET PEAS 
Our fist of Sweet Peas has been very carefully checked to include the very' finest 
varieties in each color classification. We have endeavored to make our color classi¬ 
fication of real value to you and to make it easy to choose the varieties you want. 
Second-rate varieties have been eliminated. 
Our seed is specially hand-picked and far superior to much that is offered. 
Planting Dates 
For earliest crop, in order to get (lowers 
in early December, start seed in July or 
August 1st, guarding against midsummer 
heat. September plantings of seed will 
produce good crops for February lamli 
March. Early December sowing will crop 
in' April and May. 
Some growers have found it profitable to 
sow seed of the Early Spencer Sweet Peas 
under cloth about June 15tli. This crop 
is cut from late August right up until 
frost. Experiments have shown that a 
soil low in Nitrogen to which ssuper-i 
phosphate and potash have been added is 
the best for Sweet Peas Too much nitro¬ 
gen is a distinct drawback resulting in 
stunting and short stems. 
Bicolor 
Columbia. Best bicolor, pink standard, 
white wings. 
Blue Shades 
Ball Blue. Good blooming, clear blue. 
*Blue ltonnett. Very large, deep blue, best 
of that shade. 
•Eleanor Blue. A new shade, clear light 
blue with a silvery sheen. Very frag¬ 
rant and long-stemmed. This variety 
does best for the late planting after 
Mumls.

blooming- season.
