36 Inoculate Sweet Peas with Nitragin for Strong, Healthy Growth 
Stocks (Gilliflower)

vated flowers. The delightful fragrance, free- 
blooming character and beautiful colors have made 
them as desirable for winter cultivation in the 
greenhouse as for the garden in summer.

Sweet Peas 
Culture: Sow seed as soon as the ground can 
be worked in the spring. Dig a trench about a 
foot wide and deep, and fill in with 6 inches of 
well-rotted stable manure; tread down firmly and 
replace the good garden soil. Draw a single straight 
line in the middle of the prepared surface, about 
% inch deep; sow seed at even distances of about 
3 inches, and cover. When the plants grow about 
3 or 4 inches high, thin out to 6 inches from each 
other. As soon as the vines reach a height of about 
8 inches, proper supports should be provided. Sup- 
ports can be wire netting, branches, etc. The Sweet 
Pea is a moisture-loving plant, and by the month 
of May the plants will require water. When water- 
ing is required, soak the trenches thoroughly. Dress 
with peat moss or old stable manure. The seéd 
may be soaked in water for a day. 
NEW SPRING FLOWERING SPENCERS 
Intermediate in season between Early and Stand- 
ard Spencers, heat resistant; maintains remarkable 
vigor, length of stems, size of flower and produc- 
tivity throughout the growing season, both under 
glass and outdoors. Midwinter sowing in the green- 
house gives flowers for early April picking.
