34 ROBERT NICHOLSON SEED CO., Dallas, Texas 

NICHOLSON'S GIANT FLOWERING TYPE 
SWEET PEAS. 
“LARGE BLOOMS—LONG STEMS” 
CULTURE: Early planting is advised so that they may bloom be- 
fore very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow deep rooting. Open 
a trench 4 to 6 inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February 
and cover with an inch of soil and press it firmly. When up about 2 
inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the trench until it is level. 
Do not allow the roots to become too dry; water at least twice a week. 
Gather Sweet Pea blooms frequently ; the more you cut them the better 
and longer they bloom. An ounce will plant 25 feet of row.
