Giants of California 
The crown or center spike is comparable to 
the long spike of a column stock. When this 
is cut (be sure to cut it), the plant then 
branches, and gives many, many more long 
stems filled with its typically large florets. The 
Giants can also be used most effectively for 
winter flowering.

SWEET PEAS 
A. For spring and summer blooming. October

nights are cool and days moderately warm. 
Plant in open, sunny location, in deep rich 
soil, which must be well drained. Plant seed 
in a trench 3" or 4" deep and about 4" apart 
in the row. Cover with 1" of fine soil. Do 
not water till all the seeds are up 114" out 
of the ground. When plants are well estab¬ 
lished fill up the trench gradually and water 
freely twice a week. If not sown in the fall, 
sow as early as the ground can be prepared 
in the spring. The varieties listed have the 
largest and best formed flowers, the longest 
and strongest stems, and the most desirable 
blooming and growing habits.
