hard. Pkt., 15c.

ROCK’S SUPERB SWEET PEAS

quality and color, and have produced new types of ex¬ 
ceeding beauty. As a cut flower it has no superior; the 
gorgeous colors in combination with its exquisite frag¬ 
rance lend a most sincere admiration to flower lovers. 
Culture. —A deep, rich, moist soil is best suited for 
Sweet Peas with plenty of well rotted manure or bone 
meal. Seed should be sown in March and April or just 
as soon as the ground may be worked in a trench or fur¬ 
row about 6 inches deep, covering with 1 to 2 inches of 
soil, which should be pressed down firmly. When plants 
are well started, thin out to 3 to 4 inches apart, fill¬ 
ing in trench, as they grow, until level. They should be 
staked up 4 to 5 feet high either with wire netting fast¬ 
ened horizontally or with brush, the former being the 
most satisfactory. Thorough watering during dry weather 
is very beneficial. Keep flowers cut off to encourage a 
continuous bloom.
