A WOMAN'S HARDY GARDEN 



kept from drying up, and will bloom until 

 October. 



Sweet Peas flourish best on a trellis of 

 galvanized wire netting. It should be a 

 permanent trellis, made of cedar posts set 

 three feet deep, so as to be below the frost 

 line and four feet high. To this attach the 

 wire netting. A trench should be made on 

 either side of the netting, so that a double 

 row of Peas may be sown. The quantity 

 sown depends on the length of the trellis ; 

 three pounds will sow a double row one hun- 

 dred and twenty -five feet long. I always sow 

 the different colours separately. It simplifies 

 the task of arranging them, if they can be 

 gathered separately. A bowl of white Sweet 

 Peas and INIaidenhair Fern is indeed a "thing 

 of beauty." 



Pcuisies, every one loves them. They are 

 annuals, but do best if treated as biennials. 

 The most practical hint that I was able to 

 get from "Elizabeth's German Garden" was 

 where she spoke of carpeting her Rose beds
