SWEET PEAS 
Culture —May be sown in either very early 
spring, or in the fall. If sown in the fall, sow late 
enough so the plants will not appear above the 
ground before the ground freezes. Manure and 
water must be used freely if good sweet peas are 
desired. Manure should be applied after a heavy 
rain or watering. One ounce seed for 50 feet 
of row.

ceptionally fine variety in each important color

SWEET PEA MIXTURES 
SPENCER MIXED. A fine mixture of true Spen¬ 
cer types, many colors. 
ECKFORD MIXED. Grandiflora types. 
NASTURTIUM 
Culture —A hardy annual, easily grown. Fairly 
rich soil is to be preferred, but too rich soil will 
result in too much vine growth. 
DWARF MIXED. A superb mixture of different 
colored dwarf varieties. 
TALL MIXED. A mixture of various colored 
climbing or running sorts. 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
For spring seeding, use 10 pounds for each 
1000 square feet; fall seeding, 6 pounds per 1000 
square feet. If Bent grass is used, sow half 
above quantities. Lawn seed mixtures vary in 
weight, but 25 pounds per bushel is about average. 
Do not be fooled by “cheap” lawn seed. If 
you want your lawn to last more than one or 
two years, if you wish to avoid sowing weed 
seeds, then buy a reasonably priced mixture. Re¬ 
member that Kentucky Bluegrass is the base 
grass of the best lawns and that it is a slow 
grower, so do not expect it to need mowing in 
a week. 
Ask us for prices on our high grade lawn seed 
mixtures, which contain Kentucky Bluegrass and 
other valuable grasses, including White Clover 
if you wish it.
