The Best New Sweet Peas. 
The New Sweet Peas are the prettiest and most fashionable flowers of their season; we 
offer the most distinct and beautiful varieties known, the sweetest and loveliest sorts ever seen. 
All flower lovers should plant them in liberal quantity. They do well everywhere, bloom 
abundantly and give delight and pleasure to all. The flowers last a long time after cutting, 
and are so sweet and beautiful they are always in great demand. 
The culture is very simple. Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient 
place you happen to have, very early in the Spring—just as early as possible—February, March, 
April or May, according to season and locasity. Keep the ground loose and mellow, give the 
young plants good support to climb on—wire netting, twine or brush. Keep the flowers picked 
off clean every day as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloom abundantly 
for many weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction.
