In the formation of floral 
screens to shut out un- 
sightly objects, or to form 
hedgerows in exposed situ- 
ations for protecting more 
tender plants, Sweet Peas 
are invaluable. In shrub- 
bery and mixed flower 
borders pyramids of these 
supported by twiggy fag- 
gots are very effective. 
Grown in pots they can 
be had very early in 
bloom to cut for bou- 
quets. Sow in November 
and December and again 
in spring for succession.

For the ^coration of the greenhouse, no plant is more popular than this, and when well grown its effect ts 
matchless. The large bold flowers of the English, the beautiful spotted flowers of the French, and the elegant and 
delicate colours of the Fancy varieties, make them deservedly popular plants. The seeds we offer have been saved 
from first-class show varieties, and will yield flowers of the most advanced types. The raising of seedlings is 
very simple, and the plants can be flowered the first season. * S 7 . ^
