SWEET PEAS 



BEAUTIFUL. 



FRAGRANT. 



FASHIONABLE. 



No class of flowers have been so much improved in recent years and none 

 have so well maintained their reputation. The varieties here offered at ex- 

 tremely low prices, are the cream of what is now being offered on the world's 

 market. Sowing should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can 

 be worked. It will be found a most excellent plan to sow in a trench about 

 six inches deep, gradually drawing back the soil as they advance in growth ; 

 this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow 

 them to run to seed, as once in the seed-pod they are finished for the season. 

 The more you cut, the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce.
