ROBERT NICHOLSON SEED CO. 

Nicholson’s Giant Flowering Type 
Sweet Peas 
FOR COLORFUL BLOOMS—LONG STEMS 
Culture: Early Pisating is advised so that they may bloom before ver; 
hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow deep rooting. Open a trench 4 
to 6 inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February and cover 
with an inch of soil and press it firmly. When up about 2 inches begir 
cultivating and gradually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the 
roots to become too dry; water at least twice a week. Gather Sweet Pec 
blooms frequently; the more you cut them the better and longer they 
bloom, An ounce will plant 25 feet of row. ¥
