HOW TO GROW YOUR SWEET PEAS 
The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep. A good rich loam, with plenty of 
well-rotted manure in it, is the ideal soil for raising good plants that will produce plenty 
of blossoms of good substance. Soils that are at all heavy are best dug in the autumn, 
and during the winter months a good dressing of bone meal and air-slacked lime should 
be given them. They should be in a position fully exposed to the sunlight and air on 
both sides of the row. 
We would recommend planting Sweet 
good results. Sweet Peas planted in Septemb 
Peas not later than the last of February for 
er and protected from severe frosts, although 
if they freeze down, they will sprout out from the root again, making a better growth 
than before. For early spring blooming plant January Ist.

Tithonia Fireball 
FIREBALL entirely overshadows the older 
well-known and enjoyed Tithonia Speciosa. 
The last word in brilliance of color in a fall 
blooming plant poised like a ball of fire above 
other flowers. Fireball is a brilliant, vibrant 
shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling 
contrast to the clear yellow center. The flowers 
are single, very large, 4/2 to 5 inches in 
diameter, and are carried on long stems. The 
plants reach a height of 8 or 9 feet, with a 
neat appearing growth of grayish green, 
woolly foliage. Tithonia Fireball is extremely 
showy in the garden and an excellent new 
cut flower variety and is destined to be one 
of the headline flowers of the 1941 season.
