‘Flower Seeds Gh gf all for Florists” 
650 «eds per on) SUM Mer Sweet Peas 
This is the original strong growing class so largely used 
for summer flowering. We have for years found them 
profitable for outdoor cutting by sowing not later than 
February Ist, placing 3 or 4 seedlings in a 3 in. band or 
pot and after hardening them in an outdoor frame, 
planting them out. This is done in 3 ft. spaced rows, the 
pot plants spaced about 8 in.; but before doing so, 
syringe and fumigate very thoroly, being sure they are 
clean of aphis. 
Usually they should be sprayed for aphis every 2 
weeks until they flower. Failures are frequently due to 
not watching this point. With us they usually reach a 
height of 4—5 ft. and are supported with wire and string 
as indoors. Water should be applied when necessary. 
With us, such a start flowers freely the last two weeks of 
June. 
The Spring Flowering Cuthbertson varieties (listed 
on opposite page) are being increasingly used for outdoor 
planting because of their earliness combined with good 
stems, and we suggest at least a trial planting of them 
alongside your Lates.
