 nor the quality or richness of colour which go so far to 

 provide the most delightful effects. 



In the majority of instances varieties of one, two, or

 mixtures may be employed to create a decided change. 

 Care must be exercised to set the stems in such a 

 manner that each bloom shows its full charm, and to 

 this end the fewer the stems provided, of course, that 

 the number is sufficient to properly furnish the receptacle 

 the better ; it is necessary, too, that the additions of 

 grasses and foliage are moderate, that it shall be clearly 

 apparent that the Sweet Peas are the display, and that 

 the supplementary things are merely put in with a view 

 to enhancing the effect.
