SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas bloom best in an open, sunny 
situation. Keeping the flowers picked as fast 
as they open prolongs the period of bloom. 
The new Cuthbertson strain is very fragrant 
and long stemmed. The Grandiflora type of 
Sweet Peas are sturdy and very floriferous 
and the flowers are scented, although of only 
medium size. The Spencer or Waved Sweet 
Peas are larger and finer in form as well as 
color than the Grandiflora type, but not quite 
so free blooming. Plant as early as the ground 
can be worked, in deeply prepared, rich soil. 
Never allow the soil to dry out after the plants 
appear. 
Spring-Flowering Cuthbertson 
The flowers are large, long stemmed, very 
fragrant and earlier than the summer-flower- 
ing Spencers. The plants are very vigorous 
and are satisfactory tor either outdoor plant- 
ing or greenhouse crops. If seed is sown in 
March, the plants will remain in bloom until 
August. Free flowering and excellent for 
cutting. 
One ounce of seed will plant a row about 
15 feet long.
