"Sweet Pea Review," paper cover, 
thirty-six pages, 25 cents. Published 
by the Sunset Seed and Plant Company, 
San Francisco, Cal. Alter almost a 
decade of application to the growing 
and study of the Sweet Pea, this com- 
pany has prepared a little book entitled 
"Sweet Pea Review." in wliose thirty- 
six pages are condensed the result of 
critical notes made durinj^; years ot 
observation, culminating in the exten- 
sive tests made by it during the Sweet 
Pea growing season, 1^95-96. In this 
work nearly one hundred varieties arc 
described in detail. This review being 
based on extended practical experi- 
ence, readers are assured of rehability, 
the important point in a work of refer- 
ence. The classification of varieties 
in color-groups, also according to size 
and form, and the recommendations 
(or expulsion of the least desirable 
sorts, will be found a peculiarly con- 
venient and useful feature. Several 
fine illustrations, and a complete index, 
bt)th by color-groups and by varieties, 
greatly increase the value of the 
work.— iTt/fw/HC Post.
