ANNUAL VINES 71 
for future use those that you like the best. I 
advise against the use of a mixture of sweet peas, 
because if you desire to gather flowers of a certain 
colour, you must travel over the entire row to 
get a sufficient quantity. By sowing each variety 
separately, you can pick the different colours 
as you want to use them, and it is an easy matter 
to mix them after they are cut. Sweet peas can 
be had in all, the various shades-of red, carmine, 
pink, blue, brown, and white; there are also some 
varieties termed yellow, but in reality they are a 
sort of creamy white. 
My-own selection of early flowering varieties 
is: Mont Blanc, white; Earliest of All, pink; 
and Blanche Ferry, pink. These three are the 
earliest and should be planted away from the 
others, as they are more dwarf and are the first 
to look unsightly in the row. From seed of 
Earliest of All, sown March 8, 1906, I picked 
sweet peas May 26. 
For rugged vigour and flowers on good, long 
stems (for cutting), I like Apple Blossoms, Gladys 
Unwin, Her Majesty, and Mrs. Dugdale, pink; 
Blanche Burpee, Dorothy Eckford, Sadie Burpee, 
Maid of Honour, and Emily Henderson, white; 
Captain of Blues, Celestial, Navy Blue, and 
Lady Grisel Hamilton, blue; Coccinea, Firefly,
