Nasturtiums, Dwarf Mixed 
The finest Sweet Peas are 
grown by thinning rigorously 
and training each plant to an 
individual stake. Fertilize and 
water faithfully. 
Nasturtiums 
Very popular summer-blooming annuals which thrive on 
poor soil and in bright sunshine. Their gaily colored, fragrant 
flowers are produced continuously throughout the season and 
are lovely for garden decoration or when cut. Plant the seeds 
when the soil and weather are warm, giving each plant a foot 
or more of space each way. The dwarf varieties are excellent for 
edging, while the tall varieties produce more bloom and are 
best for cutting and general decoration. 
DWARF, MIXED. An exceedingly fine mixture of brilliantly colored 
flowers in shades of orange, yellow, crimson, etc., produced abun¬ 
dantly on dwarf, vigorous plants which bloom all season. 
GOLDEN GLEAM. The new, double, sweet-scented, pure yellow 
variety which has made such a tremendous sensation throughout the 
world in the past few years. It comes 100 per cent true from seed, 
and is one of the loveliest garden flowers grown. 
TALL, MIXED. Very fine for growing over a bank, on a trellis, or 
for covering brush. Blooms abundantly all season. 
Sweet Peas 
One of the most popular garden flowers for its graceful form, 
delicate colors, and delicious fragrance. We grow our seed in 
specially selected soils in California and handle only the best. 
Culture. As early in spring as the ground can be worked, plant 
Sweet Peas in furrows, about one ounce of seed for each 15 feet. The 
furrows should be about 6 inches deep, well fertilized at the bottom, 
and as the plants grow, the soil should be drawn in about them, 
leaving a slight depression about the base, where they may be watered 
thoroughly and frequently. Provide brush or wire netting for them to 
grow on as soon as the tendrils form, and keep the flowers cut.
