SWEET PEAS 
A FEW SUGGESTIONS 


BARTELDES COLOSSAL ZINNIA 
The vine or plant of the Sweet 
Pea succeeds best in moist, yet well 
drained, cool soil. For longest pos- 
sible blooming season, the seed 
must be planted early. Using the 
best mode, the trench method, the 
trench should be two feet wide and 
two feet deep, and filled nearly to 
the surface with a mixture of well 
rotted manure and rich soil. Fill in 
the top with six inches of soil. 
Germination will be hastened if the oe, 
seeds are soaked in water over night Seeds 
should be inoculated with Nitragin. Sow the 
‘seed two inches deep at the rate of one ounce 
per twenty feet. When the weather is dry, soak 
the ground thoroughly once or twice a week. 
The earth should be kept loose two inches deep 
around the plants at all times. In the evening, 
during hot weather, a light spraying of the vines 
will be found beneficial. Sweet Peas should be 
cut early in the morning, and there will be longer 
period of bloom if they are cut closely. If allowed 
to produce any great amount of seed, the plant 
will wither quickly. Spray thoroughly to prevent 
infection from insects.

DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIA. This is a new giant 
flowered type, the petals overlapping in such a manner 
as to give the blossoms the appearance of a decorative 
dahlia. The colors of this type are not so brilliant as 
the others, but are soft shades of lavender, rose and 
old gold. They are very strong, vigorous growing 
plants, and bloom profusely throughout the summer.

Zinnias and the flowers are just as perfect in form.

large flowers and long season of bloom.
