SWEET PEAS 
Nothing gives more joy or more fine blooms for the 
house than a well-grown row of fine Sweet Peas. The Early 
Types are specially suited to give winter bloom in mild 
regions if sown August to October and in colder regions 
come several weeks earlier from spring sowings. The lates 
are the best for cold or damp climates and are the old 
stand-bys generally. 
Culture: In California and mild regions Aug.-Nov. sow¬ 
ings will give a wealth of early bloom. In colder regions 
sow as soon as ground warms in spring. For superlative 
results give; good drainage is essential. Dig a trench 12-15 
inches deep, fill either with manure or with peat and leaf- 
mold and give a good dressing of bone meal and cover with 
2 inches of fine soil. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches 
apart. Water moderately until plants appear, then copiously. 
Water sparingly when buds appear and pick flowers clean 
daily. 
A really good mixture suits the purposes of the home 
garden best and the mixtures offered are carefully blended 
from choicest named varieties in perfect color balance.

NOTE: In the foregoing paragraphs I have called your 
attention to outstanding annuals that in milder regions are 
best sown in summer and fall and that will give brilliant 
masses of .color to fill usual winter and early spring voids 
and give ample blooms for cutting. In colder regions you 
should have the seed ready for earliest spring sowing. 
Do not overlook that California wild flowers are best 
sown in fall in all mild regions both for naturalizing and 
for charming masses of color in the garden. See next page. 
Then too, most perennials are best sown in the summer 
and fall in all climates and fall sown, most things will 
flower next year. You will find seeds of many finest peren¬ 
nials listed with the plants in the earlier pages of this 
catalog. Seeds of perennials germinate best while fresh in 
fall and only new crop seeds are sent out. 
NOTE REGARDING CATALOGS 
I take pleasure in sending you this catalog and I hope 
that in its pages you will find much information and that 
you want to add some of its lovely offerings to your garden. 
My catalog is sent to all regular customers each year and 
I shall gladly send it to anyone interested in gardening. 
However, this catalog is quite expensive and to be frank, 
while I try to make it as informative as possible, its prime 
purpose is to bring business without which it would be 
impossible. 
Therefore good business practice dictates that its distri¬ 
bution be limited to those actively interested. Hereafter it 
will be sent to all regular customers without request. To all 
customers two or more years after their last order. 
All names that have not ordered after the second issue 
has been mailed to them will be withdrawn from my list. 
In January I will mail you a catalog of seeds and some 
bulbs and plants for spring planting. Watch for it. 
LILIUM PARRYII 
Lilium Parryii is a very rare and lovely lily growing 
3 to 5 ft. tall with slender leafy stems and has from a 
few to 25 very fragrant funnel form flowers with petals 
slightly flaring at tips. The color is soft lemon yellow, 
some flowers with faint brown spots, some without 
spots. It should be in shade and prefers a sandy loam 
soil with some humus and in cold regions should have 
some protection. Just as this catalog goes to press I 
have secured a fine disease free stock of bulbs that 
have been cultivated right on the native streams and 
offer— Extra Large Bulbs at $1.00 each; Fine Flower¬ 
ing Bulbs at 70 cts. each, 3 for $1.90. 
Dianthus Loveliness is just that—supremely lovely.
