fully done, this is apt to pale the flowers. 



In some of the older varieties the stan- 

 dards were more or less reflexed; in the 

 newer the tendency is just the opposite, 

 to be too much hooded. The new rule 

 of the National Sweet Pea Society says: 

 "The standard must be erect, waved, or 

 only slightly hooded." This advice is 

 good. The variety I have found to pro- 

 duce the largest flowers is Triumph. 

 The smallest and most singular is Eed 

 Eiding Hood, which, some say, ought 

 not to have been put in commerce. With 

 me it is in much request, both by adults 

 and children, and no wonder. I should 

 be sorry to be without it. 



I have been very successful with tlie 

 dwarf sweet peas in single rows. In 

 beds or masses they are not satisfactory. 

 Pink Cupid is my favorite. I sow the 

 seeds an inch apart in boxes about tlie 

 middle of February, and plant them 

 out when ready about six inches apart. 

 On both sides of a grass walk, about 

 a hundred yards long, I have had a 

 single row of this variety for three suc- 

 cessive years, and am prejiaring for a 

 fourth. It requires about 1,200 plants, 

 and when in bloom is one of the best 

 features in the garden. The great fault 

 of the Cupid sweet pea is the tendency 

 it has to drop its buds before opening, 

 and in beds this is especially the ease. 

 In single rows, with more light and air 

 and frequent stirrings, it is not so bad.
