NEW SWEET PEAS. 
If you love Flowers, do not fail to try Our New Sweet Peas, their exquisite beauty and 
delicious fragrance will be a constant delight. We offer the very finest varieties, grown and 
selected with the greatest care. More were planted last year than ever before, and this year 
the demand is larger still. People are surprised to find they grow so easily and bloom so 
profusely; they do well in all usual places, and require very little care. The flowers last a 
long time after cutting, and are so sweet that a few small sprays will perfame a whole room. 
The culture is very simple: Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient 
place you happen to have very early in the spring — just as early as possible, February, 
March, April or May, according to season and locality; keep the ground loose and mellow; 
give the young plants good support to climb on — Wire Netting, Twine, or Brush. Keep the 
flowers picked Off Clean every day (this is very important), and they will bloom abundantly 
for many weeks. They are the most lovely and charming flowers of their season, and sure to 
give pleasure to all who plant them.
