Sweet Peas siciiy 



There are hundreds of varieties of Sweet Peas, a 

 great many of which are practically identical with 

 others in color, and there are still some which lack 

 many characteristics essential to a really first-class 

 variety. We have confined our list to the varieties 

 which are of proved value. The Early-flowering 

 Sweet Peas are used by florists for forcing under 

 glass and also for growing outdoors in the southern 

 states. The Summer-flowering Sweet Peas are for 

 outdoor growing where the spring is cool and sum- 

 mer not too warm. For best results they should be 

 planted outdoors as soon as the ground can be 

 worked.
