■—' Plant early In rows north and south— April 1st is none too soon, if the ground will work. Make a trench 12 inches deep and 15 inches 

 wide. Work into the soil in bottom of trench plenty of well-rotted manure, till 8 inches of trench with fine soil and sow tbe Peas, cover- 

 ing 1 inch deep (if about April 1st) in two rows 10 inches apart and seeds 2 inches apart in the rows; if planted later cover deeper. When 

 well up, fill in with earth gradually as they grow until the trenches are full. The object is to get the roots well down so that thev may 

 resist drought. Give plenty of water, pick the blooms without stint, and do not let run to seed. Use brush or trellis 5 or 6 feet high. 



In rearranging our Sweet Pea list this season, after making: thorough tests on our extensive trial grounds, and consulting the opin- 

 ions of well-known Sweet Pea specialists, we have discarded some older varieties, inserting such of the new sorts and recent introduc- 

 tions as are worthy of our commendation, retaining only the best for general cultivation. The following varieties, selected with a view 

 to please the most critical, and grouped for the convenience of customers according to their various shades and colors, we think are the 

 oream of the list:
