es Sweet ON illiams 
Dianthus Barbatus 
French, Oeillet de poete. Hardy biennial. 
Height about 18 inches. Sweet Williams are as 
important for the garden in the early summer 
as are Antirrhinums and Asters in the later 
months. The Pink Beauty, Scarlet, and Giant 
White varieties are especially attractive, and

A beautiful salmon-pink variety, which should 
be grown in every garden. 
4524. Sutton’s Scarlet Per packet 40c 
A still more remarkable color than our Pink 
Beauty, from which this variety has been sel- 
ected. The flowers are of an intense scarlet, 
similar to that of Grenadin Carnation. A bed 
of this Sweet William is very striking. 
make possible at a somewhat difficult period of 
the year brilliant bedding effects on a large 
scale, equal to those obtained with Antirrhin- 
ums or Wallflowers. Seed of the biennial vari- 
eties should be sown in May, June, or July, and 
the plants transferred to blooming quarters in 
the autumn.

Sutton’s Sweet Peas 
Choicest Named Varieties 
Sweet Peas will thrive in any sunny location. 
They need a rich, well-manured, deeply dug soil 
with good drainage. Sow the seed in double 
rows 6 to 8 inches apart. Sow seed thickly, one 
packet to 2 feet of double row. Sow early while 
the ground is cold. Support with wire, brush, or 
string as soon as plants are two inches high. 
Water often and avoid wetting the vines. The 
modern varieties in this list produce three and 
four flowers on long stems.

Sutton’s Giant 
Cen-Meek Stocks 
Delightfully fragrant heavy trusses of double 
flowers in spires on strong stems make Stocks 
an indispensable flower for the garden and cut- 
ting. 
It is usual to sow annual Stocks under glass 
from the middle to the end of March. Sow 
thinly that the plants may become stout, and 
from the first give air freely when practicable. 
Prick off the seedlings into pans or boxes and 
give them the protection of a cold frame. An- 
nual Stocks can also be successfully grown from 
sowings made in the open about the end of 
pril. 
Sutton’s Giant Perfection 
A wonderfully fine type of the largest-flowered 
Ten-Week Stocks, of strong growth, branching 
habit, very large and fully double flowers, the 
plants growing to a height of 15 to 18 inches. 
A remarkable percentage of plants of this strain 
yields double flowers.

WINTER-FLOWERING STOCKS 
If suitable varieties are chosen, a beautiful

the winter months with very little trouble, and

delightful scent alone. Sow thinly, in pans or 
shallow boxes, from June to August.

STATICE - Sea Lavender 
The Sea Lavenders have become extremely 
popular, especially for cutting for house dec- 
oration. The cloudlike masses of flowers of the 
branching varieties make borders gay for a long 
time, while their delicate coloring and light 
graceful habit are a great help to other ever- 
lasting flowers.
