70 The W. W. Barnard Co., 231-235 W. Madison St., Chicago BARNARD'S SELECTED SWEET PEAS We could tfreatly extend our list, Taut we think it toest to confine our offers to such sorts as are really e first-class. HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS.—The principal essential for the best success is a cool, deep, moist soil, and a sunny sit- uation The ground should be prepared deep and rich. Fall preparation, where possible, is preferable but if done in the spring, us*> no green manure Bone meal is good if old rotted manure can not be obtained. Sow earlyas Sweet Pea^ need^the: cold, moist spring ground to make the root growth. In the latitude of Chicago, early in March is not too early. Sow the seed in SPENCERS deep burrows °the bottom of which must be at least 6 inches below the level of the soil; this is to guard against a summer SgM Coverthe seeds onlv one inch, after which the furrow is still five inches deep When the plants are 2 inches high. tfS? out toT q or 4 inches apart and fill in another inch or so of soil around the plants, always leaving a portion of the plant above the surface do this at intervals until the furrow is nearly full; it should always remain a little hollow to hold the rains, and to allow water to be applied in quantity when necessary. - r^rinz drT weather they should be watered thoroughly and frequently and given an application of liquid manure once a week Amukh of hay or rakings from the lawn will be found beneficial during hot weather. The flowers should be picked Ts often as possible, and all withered blooms should be removed, to prevent the plants from running to seed, which would stop them from continuing in bloom. 3937— Henrietta. The color of this charming variety is beautiful, clear bright rose pink on a cream ground. The great attractive beauty of the flower, however, is its enormous size and frilled appearance, owing to the extent of the duplexing. The flowers are more like pink roses than sweet peas. A few sprays together look like a bouquet. For dainty table decorations, corsage bouquets or exhibition it will be hard to beat "Henrietta." Pkt., 15c; oz., 75c 3938— King1 Edward VH. Splendid scarlet. Very free bloomer; should be included in every collection. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c -King" White. Splendid pure white. By far the largest and finest of all white Sweet Peas. Four large beautiful waved flowers on each stem. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c "BUTTERFLY " 0r "ORCHID FLOWERED" Nothing within recent years can approach in importance the introduction of the "Spencer" Sweet Peas. They are distin- guished from the standard sorts by the enormous flowers with crinkled and wavy petals, and also from the fact that they usually bear four blossoms on a long, stout stem. 3922— America.
