Culture of the Sweet Pea 713 



" In staging a collection of twelve varieties, they should be stood in 

 three rows, the back rows being tiered eight or nine inches above the other, 

 and arrange the colors so that they do not clash. Even if the show 

 schedule does not ask for it, name each variety with a neat card placed 

 at the base of each vase." 



Two very important points for the exhibitor to observe are: (i) follow 

 the rules as to the number of stems per vase and foliage allowed; (2) 

 see to it that the flowers are true to name. Varieties of distinct colors 

 should be used and those that are very nearly like others in the exhibit 

 excluded. Finally, in placing the vases, it is important not to lose sight 

 of the fact that a good color scheme is a great aid to success.
