“TRAIN-ETTS” 
The New Sweet Pea Trellis 
Use this fine New Trellis instead of wire or 
string for training Sweet Peas_and climb- 
ing vines. Just what is needed for Pole 
Beans, Peas, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, etc. 
Wire gets hot in the sun and burns the 
tender tendrils, retarding growth. String 
is tedious to tie and often rots, letting 
plants fall down. “TRAIN-ETTS” are 
weatherized and scientifically made and 
will not rot out or burn the plants. Easy 
to hang, attractive and strong.
