These have long been favorite flowers, and 
are very fashionable. The colors are very 
rich and striking. They are deliciously 
fragrant; and a bunch of these beauti- 
ful flowers forms an exquisite bouquet. 
Nothing blooms in greater abundance, 
and few flowers are as satisfactory. They 
like cool, moist weather, and should be 
planted very early in spring; the earlier 
the better. Some have failed to grow 
Sweet Peas, and in the majority of cases 
it is because they are sown too late. Sow 
early and success is certain. They are 
no narder to grow than garden Peas, and 
require same treatment. Plant early, 
about 4 inches deep, brushing them when 
about 6 inches high. Remove the seed- 
pods as they come, and they will bloom 
all summer.
