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 

 proven 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 summer not too warm. 

 <• For best results they should be planted outdoors as soon as the ground can be worked.

 orange-scarlet whose richness is difficult to 

 describe. These fine flowers, very miich

 among shrubs or as a hedge, it presents a 

 wealth of brilliancy over a long season.
