The wonderful ad-

 mixture their beauty 

 and fragrance cannot 

 be surpassed.

 selection of choice var- 

 ieties of Sweet Peas a

Culture.— Sweet Peas should be sown in drills, as 

 early as possible in spring, in rich, friable soil. Pre- 

 pare the bed thoroughly, working in a quantity of 

 well rotted manure, if it can be done, making a fur- 

 row four to s x inches deep. In this sow the seed 

 and cover two inchts deep. As soon as the plants 

 begin to show through, fill in the furrow. This will 

 secure a deep planting without the bad effect of deep 

 covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plant 

 to bloom continuously through the heat of summer. 

 As fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade, 

 they should.be cut off, for if the t ods are allowed to 

 form, the plants will stop blooming.
