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.”

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 deply to allow deep rooting. Open a 
trench 4 to 6 inches deep, in which psn 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.
