TUCKERS' SWEET PEAS 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be 
worked. Do not wait for fair weather. Sow the 
seeds in a trench 4 inches deep and cover about an 
inch of soil. Gradually fill the trench to the level 
of the garden. One quarter pound of seed will sow 
75 feet of row. 
Tuckers' Superb Mixed Spencer —This special 
mixture of Giant Spencer Sweet Pea is made from 
separate sorts, giving our customers the cream of 
the Spencers in all colors, including many of the 
latest varieties, as well as superb seedlings of ex¬ 
quisite colors and shades, which have not as yet 
been true enough to be introduced as new named 
sorts. The vigorous plants produce extremely large 
flowers, most beautifully waved and frilled, on long 
and erect stems. An especially attractive mixture.

Perennial Sweet Peas —The Perennial or Everlast¬

will remain for years without replanting. It does 
well in shady and in most places where other climb¬ 
ers would not thrive. Perfectly hardy. Grows from 
5 to 8 feet in height. Mixed colors, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c;
