YOUR FLOWER GARDEN 
The flower garden with proper attention may be made to dis- 
play its fullest glory throughout the growing season. It gives your 
home the ‘‘atmosphere’’—that intangible something that gives 
beauty, dignity and pleasantness to the place—that causes one 
to love it and make it ‘‘HOME.”

THE Dacutécot OF ALL BLOOMS—Swuweet Peas 
Nicholson's Giant Flowering Type 
Sweet Peas 
FOR COLORFUL BLOOMS—LONG STEMS 
Culture: Early planting as advised so that they may bloom before very 
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 begin 
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 Pea 
blooms frequently; the more you cut them the better and longer they 
bloom. An ounce will plant 25 feet of row. ,
