SWEET PEAS 
BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 
The truly wonderful development of the Spencer class of Sweet Peas since their creation 
or discovery a few years ago, espcially during the past five or six years, is one of the 
marvels of the whole history of floriculture. 1 ; 
of the race about 1901 will perhaps always be an unexplained mystery. 
“sport”, for such it was, speedily gave rise to variations in form and color, and there are

Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well pre- 
pared ground as early as it can be worked. They should 
not, however, be grown two successive seasons on the 
Bame ground: It will be found a most excellent plan to 
wnake a trench about 6 inches deep, in which plant the 
Seeds, covering at first to a depth of 2 inches; gradually 
draw in 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.
