ZINNIA 


Sweet Peas : 
CULTURE—Early planting is advised so that they may bloom before 
very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow deep rooting. Open 
a trench four to six inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in 
February and cover with an inch of soil and press it firmly. When 
up about two inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the trench 
until it is ievel. Do not allow the roots to become too dry; water 
at least twice a week. Be sure to gather the blooms, otherwise 
the vines will stop flowering. An ounce will plant 25 feet of row.
