Ebelings Miulti-Colered Sweet Peas 
In a Wonderful Variety of Harmonious Colors 
How to grow 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 blooms. Con- 
siderable benefit has been noted 
from the use of inoculating culture. 
Seed may be sown out-of-doors as 
early in the season as the ground 
can be worked, usually the middle of 
March to the middle of April. 
FLOWERS leave part 
of their fragrance in the 
hand that bestows them.

If | could put my works in song, 
And tell what is there enjoyed, 
All men would to my gardens throng 
And leave the cities void.

Spencer Sweet Peas 
The magnificent new Spencer Sweet 
Peas are rapidly displacing the older 
kinds. The plants make a vigorous growth 
and the flowers are extraordinarily large, 
being, when well grown, from 2 to 2) 
inches in diameter. In addition, the pet- 
als are beautifully waved or fluted, and 
in some of the newer Spencers the fluting 
is very pronounced. Practically the whole 
range of grandiflora varieties has now 
been duplicated in the Spencer type.

Early or Winter Flowering 
Spencer ; 
While these are especially adapted for 
forcing under glass for winter and early 
spring blooming they are also valuable 
for outdoor culture, coming into bloom 
five or six weeks earlier than the regular 
Spencer or Orchid-flowering type, and if 
the flowers are kept cut they will con- 
tinue to bloom for a long time.
