which enrich the flower-garden. They may be planted

be sown along the sides of fences, forming a highly orna- 
mental covering ; in any situation they are always ad- 
mired. We make the selection of the choicest Sweet 
Peas a special feature, and have, by careful effort, secured 
a variety of colors surpassing in a marked degree most
