SWEET PEAS 
Lathyrus odoratus (A) 
For many years a favorite flower for cut- 
ting because of its distinctive fragrance 
and very wide range of colors. Many va- 
rieties with improved form and color have 
been developed by persistent and patient 
hybridizing, and we offer varieties that 
we consider most worth-while. 
Seed should be sown as soon as the soil is workable 
in spring. A trench should be dug a foot wide and a 
foot deep, this filled with rotted stable manure and 
soil in equal parts, or soil with one-third Humus 
to which some General Garden Fertilizer has been 
added. After the earth is firmly pressed, a 34-inch 
groove should be made for sowing the seed. Seed 
is sown 2 inches apart and seedlings thinned to 6 
inches apart. Four-foot support should be pro- 
vided. Since sweet peas are moisture-loving plants 
a top dressing of Mulch-o-Mure, old stable manure, 
Sawco-Nure or Peat-moss should be applied in May.

SWEET PEA, Cuenpeenee Evelyn 
CUTHBERTSON SWEET PEAS 
Blasting the idea that sweet peas cannot 
be grown in localities where high tempera- 
ture in early spring burns standard va- 
rieties as It does around New York, the 
Cuthbertson sweet peas have proved to be 
highly satisfactory because they are 
definitely heat-resistant. The flowers are 
large, long stemmed, very fragrant and 
earlier than the summer-fowering Spen- 
cers. The plants are very vigorous and 
are satisfactory either for greenhouse 
crops or for outside planting.
