FLOWER SEEDS 
SWEET PEAS IN MIXTURES 
LARGE FLOWERING— A peerless mix¬ 
ture and absolutely the finest that can be 
made. It is a blend of the best sweet peas 
in Cultivation, no dull colors, all choice 
giant flowering varieties of every color 
and type, the colors being evenly distri¬ 
buted throughout. No matter at what price 
or under what high high-sounding name it 
may be offered, for diversity of color, size 
and beauty of flowers, no other sweet pea 
mixture can surpass our “Special Mixture.” 
FANCY SPENCER MIXTU RE — The 
newest introduction in sweet peas, differ¬ 
ing from the old type in having waved or 
fluted standards. The flower stems are 12 
to 14 inches long, very strong, and usually 
bear four blooms, which, under favorable 
growing conditions, measure two inches 
across. 
SWEET PEA CULTURE— To secure the 
longest possible season of bloom the seed 
must be planted early. The best mode of 
planting is the trench method. The trench 
is dug two feet deep and two feet wide, 
and filled nearly to the surface of the 
ground with a mixture of well rotted ma¬ 
nure and rich soil, with a 6-inch layer of 
soil at the top. During dry weather the 
ground should be thoroughly soaked once 
or twice each week.

NASTURTIUMS 
For the time and labor required no other 
annual will produce such a lavish profusion 
of l)loom for so long a time as Nasturtiums, 
and for brilliance and variety of color they 
are unexcelled. They bloom best in thin, 
well-drained soil; the richer the soil the 
fewer blooms and more leaf-growth. Dwarf 
Nasturtiums make fine bedding and bor¬ 
der plants; the tall sorts are well adapted 
for covering trellises, unsightly places, etc.
