MAY'S Tall Sweet Peas 
THROUGH skill 
of the special- 
iil, the Sweet Pea 
has become a 
much larger and 
lovelier flower 
than before it 
became so popu- 
lar. The plants 
are more robust, 
dwarf, branching 
and bloom more 
freely, some va- 
rieties showing 3 
to 4 blossoms on a 
stem. For gar- 
den decoration it 
is now very large- 
ly grown in sep- 
arate colors and 
in clumps. Many 
new shades, deep, 
dark brilliant and 
delicately lovely 
have appeared in 
the blossoms, of- 
ten in indescri- 
bable combina- 
tions. There are 
flowers, too, of 
quite d t sti net 
shapes, some of 
which are a dis- 
tinct improve- 
ment upon the 
older Sweet Peas.
