WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 
ELLIOTT S SUPERB SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Poflf* are classed among the most 
popular garden flowers cultivated at the 
present time. The greatly improved 
varieties which have been developed in 
recent years supply flowers which, for 
perfection of form and beauty of colors, 
are unrivaled. They are easy to grow 
and are valuable both for cutting anc 
for garden decoration. The strains we 
offer are of superior merit, and we recom¬ 
mend them with every confidence. A 
deep, rich, moist soil is best suited to 
Sweet Peas. They are usually grown 
in double rows, with a wire trellis or a 
row of brush between. For each double 
row make the drills about five inches 
deep, and nine or ten inches apart. # Sow 
plentifully, covering about two inches 
deep, and by degrees, as the vines grow 
lip, fill the trenches with soil. 
Spring sowings should be 
made just as early as the 
ground can be prepared; frost 
does not hurt the little 
seedlings. The earliest 
flowers are from seed sown 
in the Fall, preferably in a 
dry situation, and four or 
five inches deep, giving 
them level culture. As 
fertilizer, a lib¬ 
eral use of bone 
meal worked 
into the soil 
will give excel¬ 
lent results.
