SWEET PEAS. 



Of all the flowers grown by amateurs none are so universally popular nor so widely cultivated as these gems of the garden. Possessed of up. 

 bounded beauty in their various colorings and markings, of most delicate perfume, of graceful form and arrangement, very productive and 

 easily cultivated, they naturally occupy first place among the garden annuals. 



The great improvement in varieties the past few years has been more marked than in any other class of flowers. Kecent introductions are 

 of immense size, highly perfumed and the most exquisite colors and tintings imaginable. Our collections embrace all the good older varieties 

 as well as all the meritorious sorts of recent introduction. 



; peas. Plant early i.. . 



covering- the seed 1 inch deep, in two rows 10 inches apart and seeds 4 inches apart in the rows. When well up, fill in the earth gradually as 

 they grow, until the trenches are full. The object is to get the roots well down, so that they may resist drouth. Use brush- or trellis 5 or 6 feet 

 high. The plants should not be raised for two successive seasons on the same ground after culinary peas. The use of artificial fertilizers, bone 

 meal, nitrate of soda, etc., can be made at the time of planting or soon after. Frequent stirring of the soil with hoe or cultivator in dry- 

 weather, thus producing a dust mulch, is preferable to artificial watering, unless irrigating facilities afford opportunities for a regular ana 

 abundant supply of water. Do not allow any flowers to go to seed, else the plants will stop blooming.
