 S\\ cet Pea-., by t inn lull- h\cd in charactci ami not so product i ve as I he oh lei 

 varieties. Their si/e and form, however, render them very attractive and elfec- 

 tive. Our stock is grown for us under most favorable conditions, and will be 

 found true to name and of excellent quality. The seeds should be sown early in 

 spring; or, when the ground is not readily prepared in spring, fall sowing may he 

 made, excepting the white-seeded varieties, which should not be sown until soil 

 becomes quite warm and dry; or they may be started early in pots in greenhouse 

 or frame and planted out as early as the weather permits. White-seeded 

 varieties, which are more tender than the dark-seeded, should be sown in sand 

 to germinate and then transplanted in soil.
