Directions for Sowing: In order to get best results with 
Sweet Peas they should be soaked in water from eight to ten 
hours and then plant them immediately. When the plants 
are up place a wire netting directly behind them, about four 
or five feet tall, and train them over this. The seeds should 
be planted very shallow. 
RUST-PROOF SNAPDRAGONS 
1935 Novelty 
("All Colors Mixed") 
Snapdragons have been badly affected by rust which 
has killed the plants and made them unsightly. For 
the past several years several growers have worked 
on them for rust-resisting qualities and the ones we 
offer here are fairly rust-proof, that is, 75 per cent. 
Package 25c 6 packages $1.00

A hardy perennial from China. Grows four to five

a cut flower as well as for bedding.
