SWEEPING. 



Besoms made of Birch or Heather are generally 

 used in garden sweeping, and are the best tools for 

 the purpose, though the ordinary bass sta'ble 

 broom is often useful in narrow walks, and the 

 sweeping machine on lawns and other large areas. 

 In sweeping walks a light, swishing motion should 

 be imparted to the broom, keeping loose gravel 

 well up in the centre of the walk, and always pick- 

 ing up the accumulations before their size threatens 



SWEET PEA. 



Description. The hardy Lnthyrus odoratus (ord. 

 Leguminosse) is one of the most valuable of summer 

 flowering annuals, and with the improvement that 

 is being made in the varieties it is becoming more 

 and more popular. It can be grown in almost any 

 garden, and there is no plant which will give, with 

 proper attention, an equal number of beautiful 

 flowers for cutting. In addition to lovely colours 

 the blooms have the advantage of being delight- 

 fully fragrant. 



Propagation. Sweet Peas are almost exclusively 

 raised from seeds, though the tops of young plants 

 made into cuttings will root readily in a green- 

 house or frame. Seeds may be sown in the open in 

 March or April, either in rows or clumps, or in pots.
