STRAWFLOWER IMMORTELLE 
HELICHRYSUM (a) Grp. 2. The finest of 
all Everlastings. They make unusually 
fine winter bouquets if cut when partially 
opened and dried slowly in a dry place,

straight. The centers of the double pom- 
pon-like flowers are nearly covered by 
the stiff overlapping “petals.” A wide

year. In California Stocks are popular winter 
annuals,

SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting and heavy feed- 
ing plants. We recommend a trench to be dug 
about 18 inches deep and 18 inches wide. In the 
bottom fork in about 6 inches of well-rotted ma- 
nure. Fill in with soil in which is mixed a liberal 
quantity of well-rotted manure. 
Sow the seeds in a trench 6 to 8 inches deep. 
Cover about 2 inches and fill in the trench as the 
plants grow. Use one ounce of seed fo 20 feet of 
row and thin plants to 4 or 5 inches apart. Fall 
sowing gives finer flowers and longer stems and 
a slightly longer period of bloom. 
If flowers are kept picked and seed prevented 
from forming, more and better blooms will be 
produced. Avoid overhead watering as it causes 
the flower buds to drop. 
In California, Early Flowering varieties are sown 
about August 1 and throughout the winter months. 
If sown in August they will bloom by November. 
Keep ihe surface of the bed cool by using a light 
mulch.
