STOCKS, Gilliflower (a) 
These popular flowers are easily grown, are so highly fragrant, 
and of such great beauty that they deserve a place in every garden. 
The Early Giant Imperial class are half-hardy annuals. Beauty 
Stocks are biennials, but 1f sown in early spring will bloom the same 
year. They are also valuable for winter forcing.

bloom. The plants are pyramidal in shape, branching above the 
base. Excellent for bedding and cutting. Height, 16 inches. Finest 
Mixed Colors. Pkt. 10c. 
GIANT IMPERIAL. Long stems and imposing spikes of large 
flowers make this the outstanding variety. It is about as early as 
Beauty of Nice and resembles it in habit, except that the plant is 
less spreading and taller. Height, 2 feet.

especially sweet after a rain.

STRAWFLOWER and IMMORTELLE 
HELICHRYSUM. (a). The finest of all Everlastings. They 
make unusually fine winter bouquets if cut when partially opened 
and dried slowly in a good place, heads downward to keep the long 
stems straight. The centers of the double pompon-like flowers are 
nearly covered by the stiff overlapping petals. A wide range of 
brilliant and soft colors. Height, 2 to 3 feet.

SWEET PEAS 
Culture of Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas command the attention and admiration of every lover 
of flowers. They are so easy to grow, and produce such wonderful 
effects no home should be without them. Plant them along the 
fence, against the house or garage or string them up on wires or 
netting in the center of the yard. A southeast exposure is best, but 
they will bloom most anywhere if they get part sunshine. 
Plant them now and they will grow during the winter and de- 
velop a good strong root system and naturally produce a much 
larger and more beautiful flower. After spading, break up any 
lumps and stamp the soil down very firm. Sweet Peas desire a 
firm seed bed to produce sturdy growth and long stems. Plant the 
seeds about one-half inch deep and 6 inches apart. Most people 
plant them too close together. After planting soak the ground good, 
and as the ground dries keep the top worked up so that it will not 
crust or bake. When the plants are about 3 inches high it is time 
to provide some means of support. Stakes with strong string sup- 
ports are fairly good, but wire mesh 1s much better. Keep pruning 
out the lateral branches that have a tendency to cover one another, 
as crowded plants never produce fine flowers. As fast as the 




Sweet Peas bloom, cut (do not pull) them off, as withered or dry 
blossoms spoil their looks and will cause them to go to seed too soon. 


The Sweet Pea seeds we offer are grown by the best growers in 
the world, and we can safely and conscientiously say that there are 
none better. A great deal of time and money 1s spent bringing out 
new and better varieties and improving the older sorts. 
We submit the following list as the cream of varieties and feel 
sure that they will give satisfaction :
