 FASHIONABLE. 



A Select List of the best sorts arranged in colors. 



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 1hey advance in 

 n-rowth; this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run 10 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.

These double flowers are very attractive, being waved and crimped with 

 none of the usual stiffness of double flowers. They are vigorous growers, very 

 free flowering, and possess all the fragrance of the ordinary Sweet Peas. The 

 double Sweet Peas do not all come true, many reverting back to single 

 flowers; about 40% can be safely depended on.

 of colors.
