THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO. DENVER, COLO.41 
Sweet Peas— 
Early planting and plenty of moisture are 
the secrets of growing Sweet Peas success¬ 
fully. Sweet Peas are among the seeds to be sown as soon as 
the soil can be worked, and should be planted 6 inches deep, being 
covered at first with only 2 inches of soil, the trench being filled 
as the plants grow. This method will give them a well-developed 
root system. Thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart as soon as they are 
above the ground. They should be staked up on stout stakes, on 
which wire netting has been fastened. These should be at least 
4 feet high. Do not allow the roots to become dry; water at least 
twice a week. Gather Sweet Pea blooms frequently; the more you 
cut them the better and longer they will bloom.

The New Way to Plant a Garden 
A garden actually planted through a pattern! 
Everything you need is in the package. The 
sheet of Gator Hide Mulch Paper with holes 
arranged in numbered sections, which is the 
pattern, remains on the ground all season, as 
Mulch Paper conserves moisture in the soil and 
eliminates practically all weeding. Center beds 
can be made by placing two similar patterns 
back to back. 
Each variety of seeds comes to you in num¬ 
bered packets to correspond with numbered 
sections on the pattern. You simply plant the 
seeds through the holes in the pattern. 
Even Vigoro Plant Food, ten long stakes and 
a spool of wire to hold the paper pattern on 
the ground are provided in the package so that 
all you have to do is prepare the soil, apply 
the plant food, unroll and fasten the pattern— 
and plant your seeds according to directions. 
Anyone can grow a gorgeous garden^ this modem 
way. No experience is needed. Simply follow 
the sheet of instructions.
