SWEET PEAS 
The finest quality exhibition Sweet Peas are grown only 
from fall sown seed. Up to now,it has been possible to sow 
seed only in the southern states at this time. But with the 
aid of the P.M.G. you who live in Columbus, Ohio, or 
Rochester, New York, can try this method, knowing that if 
the Winter is at all normal the young seedlings will come 
through in fine style. 
Sow seed in late August or September in a well drained 
and prepared site. Once the seedlings are well up, cover 
with P.M.Gs. and give full ventilation whenever possible. 
As early in the Spring as possible, remove the P.M.Gs., 
before new growth commences. Protect the seedlings with a 
light screen of brush. The result will be unusually, sturdy 
plants which will produce flowers of a greater size and strength 
over a much longer period. 
Sow : End of August or September. 
Flower : The following late Spring or Summer. 
P.M.Gs. in use : October to March. 
Varieties : Any well known varieties as listed of 
your choice. Spencer varieties are excellent. 
ZINNIAS 
For either early or late blooms Zinnias produced under 
_ P.M.Gs. are outstanding. With the added help and protection 
you can bring on fine, sturdy plants three weeks before your 
neighbour. 
First sowing : Mid-April or about a month before all 
danger of frost is past. In hard weather protect 
the P.M.Gs. with burlap.

which will be about a month from sowing.
