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.’ 
Sweet Peas 
FOR COLORFUL BLOOMS—LONG STEMS 
Culture: Early planting as advised so that they may bloom before 
very hot weather. Dig the soil deply 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.
