SWEET PEAS. How to grow Sweet Peas: The soil 
for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep. A good 
rich loam, with plenty of well-rotted manure in 
it, is the ideal soil for raising good plants that 
will produce plenty of blooms. Considerable 
benefit has been noted from the use of inoculat¬ 
ing culture. Seed may be sown out-of-doors as 
early in the season as the ground can be worked, 
usually the middle of March to the middle of 
April. 
SELECT GRANDIFLORA SWEET PEAS. Grandiflora 
Mixed. y 4 lb, 35c; % lb, 60c; lb., $1.00. 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS. The magnificent new Spen¬ 
cer Sweet Peas are rapidly displacing the older 
kinds. The plants make a vigorous growth and 
the flowers are extraordinarily large, being, when 
well grown, from 2 to 2(4 inches in diameter. 
In addition, the petals are beautifully waved or 
fluted, and in some of the newer Spencers the 
fluting is very pronounced. Practically the whole 
range of grandiflora varieties has now been dupli¬ 
cated in the Spencer type.
