space is available. Into the bottom of tHe trench put six inches of good old 
fashioned manure. Scatter about 4 ozs.]Bone meal every three feet. Then 
cover up trench with soil to old ground lével. Make a groove one inch deep, 
flush the groove with water, plant the seed in mud and cover up. This 
should be enough moisture to ensure germination. Be sure to protect the 
young seedlings from snails and slugs. Birds really present the main prob- 
lem at this time of year. There is no surer control than half-inch mesh wire 
netting. 
As to the type of Sweet Pea to plant, we still prefer the Early Flowering 
Spencers. This type will flower earlier and just as long as the Cuthbertson 
and the late flowering type. Stake the Sweet Peas as soon as they are six 
inches high, and be sure to make monthly feedings with Liquinox, Dust 
every three or four weeks with sulphur to prevent mildew. An occasional 
spraying to control aphis is advisable. We recommend “Black Leaf 40” for 
this purpose. 
CHRISTMAS 
We can think of no more acceptable Christmas gift than something for the 
garden. The average gift is soon forgotten, but the garden gift is lasting 
and gives pleasure to more people than the actual receiver. Here are some

GENERAL 
The flowers and vegetables which can be planted directly outdoors are listed 
in this guide. Of course, they can also be planted in flats. 
If you have a vacant lot or any vacant ground you want to cover, now is 
the time to sow our wild flower mixture. Nature gives maximum help at 
this time of year. Remember, we have all seeds in bulk. In fact, we can 
honestly say you will not find a better selection of seeds anywhere in the 
United States than here. 
The following list of vegetables and flower seeds by no means covers all 
of the items we carry. Should you want any specific varieties be sure to 
advise us.
