SWEET PEAS. 



The Sweet Pea, Lathyrus Odoratics, is one of 

 the most charmingly beautiful, fragrant, climbing- 

 annuals. The flowers are of the brightest colors- 

 and excellent for bouquets. 



Sweet Peas should be sown very early, in rich, 

 well-worked soil. Make the drill six inches deep 

 and after sowing, cover only about one inch. Fill 

 in the earth as they grow until the drill is filled, 

 carefully avoiding covering the young plants. 

 They delight in a sunny situation, with plenty of 

 moisture. 



We have a particularly fine strain of 

 Sweet Peas grown specially for us in Kent, 

 England. The seed is so thoroughly ripened, 

 so large and fully rounded, that the flowers 

 produced are more abundant, larger and far 

 more beautiful, than those grown from th© 

 sun-shrivelled, continental seed. We hav© 

 received from customers many commenda- 

 tions of our Kent-Grown Sweet Peas. 



1036 Choicest Mixed, Kent-Grown. For
