Farm and garden annual, spring 1906 . weather surpass those sown -weeks before, as the latter usually have become stunted through weather setbacks,whereas the late sown ones usually come right along with no checks; of course care must be taken not to sow too late, as latesowings run severe risks from drying out during our first warm weather—unless care is taken to water regularly until theseedlings become established. Thin out where they come up too thickly to at least 4 inches apart and over, according tothe size of the plant. Sowing of Hardy Perennials. Hardy Perennials may be sown from January to ? October. Early sowings should be made indoors in shallow pans or boxes, as described above, or they can be sown outdoorsfrom May to August, and transplanted to their permanent flowering positionsin early autumn, protecting during winter with a covering of leaves or of the Perennials, such as Antirrhinum, Dahlias, Heliotrope, Salvia, etc.,can be sown outdoors as soon as good weather sets in for late SWEET PEAS. HINTS ON SWEET PEA expect Sweet Peas to thrive in soil too poor for any other plants, or in a sunless location. They need, as nearly as possible, a free clay loam, moder-ately rich and freely overfeed. With a view to obtaining vigorous growth and profusion of bloom, bone meal is the best sow too shallow. A good plan is to draw out a trench 6 inches in depth, into which plant the seeds not less than two inches deep, and as the plants become established bank the soil against them, repeating this two or three times throughout the gather blooms grudgingly. The more you cut the longer the vine will continue to flower. Remember, when they go to seed Sweet Peas will cease water so as to only slightly sprinkle or wet the surface of the ground. When you water, see that it soaks thoroughly into the ground for at least 6 inches. CONTAINS EIGHT SEPARATE COLORS. White, Pink, Deep
