PLANT SWEET PEAS 
EARLY 
-0- 
The common practice in planting Sweet Peas is to dig a 
•mall trench six inches deep and drop the seed, covering as 
the plant grows until the trench is filled. This puts the root 
well down and keeps the plant moist. A small amount of 
commercial fertilizer or well-rotted stable manure mixed well 
with the soil is advantageous. As the plant grows put in 
brush or chicken wire for support and keep it well irrigated. 
Sweet Peas are thirsty plants and should never be denied 
water. The real secret of success in planting and growing 
Sweet Peas is to get them in early. They may be safely planted 
as soon as the ground is ready to work but they rarely, if ever, 
succeed well if planted late. 
During the blooming season all the flowers should be picked 
as the plant will cease blossoming as soon as the seed pods are 
set. 
1 Ounce will sow 25 feet of row the seeds dropped every A 
Inch.

waviness and extra frilliness of the flowers. This imparts a

ZINNIAS 
The Zinnia is probably our most popular garden flower 
today. Its bold striking masses of bright color are unexcelled 
for cutting and recent cultural work has bred into them a 
larger size, wider color range, and more graceful habit than the 
old fashioned types. 
Sow Zinnias early and transplant when all danger of frost 
Is over leaving 2 A feet between the plants of the giant sorts 
to allow room for full development. 
California Giants or Giant Mammoth — The monstrous 
flowers are flat, getting away from the conical type of the 
Doubles and eliminating the stiffness that has been so 
objectionable in Zinnias in the past. The flowers are at¬ 
tractive from the time they open making them an excellent 
cut flower at any time. We have had flowers from this class 
over eight inches across.
