SWEET PEAS 



Varieties like Henry Eckford and Helen Lewis may be shaded 

 with muslin on the east, south, and west sides of the groups. King 

 Edward VII. is best grown fully exposed to the sun. For small 

 collections the purchase of good seed should receive great attention. 



The Varieties A splendid guide for fixed sorts is the 

 National Sweet Pea Society's colour list, with the exception of the 

 magenta shades, which are not worth growing. The other nineteen 

 are all very good. The twenty-four sorts left (five having two 

 recommendations) will give a varied and glorious display. Some 

 of the newer ones should also be tried.
