notes made during the -Sweet Pea grow- 
ing season in 1895-96 Copious notes 
and endless comparisons in the field 
are condensed into concise and practi- 
cal form, the effort being to still 
further popularize tins pretty fiower.

Accept Ihairks for copy of " Sweet 
Pea Review" kindly sent me. I can 
appreciate all the labor involved in 
compiling such a work. We endeavor 
from year to year to keep notes, and 
lind this quite a task, as llie notes are 
valueless, unless carefiilly and s>slein- 
atically adjudged. We grow all the 
.varieties, and it is a delight to me to 
See the improvement in size and color. 
With kind regards,
