SWEET PEAS still hold a place in the first rank among flower- 

 ing plants. But few plants are grown more easily, and grown 

 in masses of separate colors or in mixture their beauty and 

 fragrance cannot be surpassed. We offer in our list an assort- 

 ment of the choicest varieties. 



CULTl'RE.- Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early as 

 possible in spring, in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed thor- 

 oughly, working in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it can be 

 done, making a furrow 4 to 6 inches deep. In this sow the seed 

 and cover 2 inches deep. As soon as the plants begin to show 

 through, fill in the furrow. This will secure a deep planting with- 

 out the bad effect of deep covering of the seed at first, and so 

 enable the plant to bloom continuously through the heat of sum- 

 mer. As fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade they 

 should be cut off. for if the pods are allowed to form the plants 

 will stop blooming.
