SWEET PEAS — (Lathyrus ocloratus). 
These well-known beautiful hardy annual climbers may be 
reckoned amongst the most delightful of our garden flowers, 
they are exceedingly useful for covering wire fences or trellises, 
and when in full bloom produce the most lovely effect. The 
brilliantly coloured and charmingly tinted flowers are deli- 
ciously fragrant, and when cut and placed in water will retain 
their beauty for several days. The cut blooms are admirably 
suited for mixed bouquets, and for specimen-glasses; a few 
choice blooms with a spray of Maiden-hair Fern have a very 
refined and pleasing appearance, whilst for button-holes, a 
combination spray oi such fine sorts as Countess of Radnor and 
Primrose, is almost equal to a spray of choice Orchids.
