SWEET PEAS 
To succeed perfectly with Sweet Peas sow the seed early — in February or March, if possible. Dig the ground 
deeply and make rich with bone meal, or thoroughly rotted manure. Give a sunny location and run the rows north 
and south. Plant the seed in double rows, in trenches a foot wide and four inches deep, covering them to a depth of 
two inches at first and fillling the trenches gradually as the vines grow. Tread the ground firmly over and to each 
side of the rows after sowing. Sow thinly and thin the plants to stand about four inches apart. Pick the flowers as 
fast as they open; don’t let seed pods form. Mulch during the hot months and when watering them doit liberally.

Tose; wings a shade lighter than standard. Medium

ium size. Hooded form, but only slightly hooded.

wings white tinged with pink; medium size; open form. 
Countess Cadogan. Standard bright violet overlaid 
with light sky blue; wings pure sky blue. Very pretty. 
Countess of Lathom. A soft cream tint heavily 
shaded with flesh-pink in the center of the standard, 
giving a coppery-rose effect. 
Countess of Radnor. Light mauve standard; laven- 
der wings. Newly opened blossoms a little deeper than 
those well matured. Medium size, hooded form. 
Dainty. The beautifully formed large flowers, upon 
first opening, appear to be white, but quickly change to 
“white with pink edge,” — making a most charming 
contrast. 
Dorothy Eckford. “The grandest pure white yet 
produced;” superior even to Eckford’s famous Blanche 
Burpee. The grand pure white flowers are beautifully 
shell-shaped, of extra large size, and borne three on a 
stem. It is very robust m growth, and the vines pro- 
duce an enormous mass of bloom. 
Duchess of Westminster. Standard buff tinged 
with pink; blotch of heavier pink at the base. Wings 
pink shading to a very light pink at the edges. Medium 
size, open form.

beautiful shade of ro.sy claret.

of Extra Early Blanche Ferry, bearing a rich profusion 
of the beautifully tinted flowers. Standard bright rosy 
pink; wings creamy white, suffused with pale rose. 
Planted under glass early in September the vines grow 
two feet in height, beginning to bloom in November. 
Emily Henderson. Pure white; profuse bloomer, 
early and continuous. 
Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon. A beautiful primrose color, 
a bold giant flower. This can be described as an im- 
proved Mrs. Eckford. 
Janet Scott. This might almost be called a new 
shade of deep pink. The unusual size of the wings, in 
connection with the large substantial hooded standard, 
give the flowers an appearance of enormous size. The 
flowers are deeper in color than the favorite Katherine 
Tracy, while unlike that variety they are generally 
borne three on a stem. 
Jeanie Gordon. Standard bright rose, shaded cream; 
wings creamy suffused rose. 
Katherine Tracy. Soft pink with wings trifle lighter 
tone; very attractive. 
King Edward VII. Bright red or crimson scarlet. 
The magnificent large flowers are of open form, with a 
well-shaped round standard. The wings are a trifle 
brighter in color than the .standard. While the color 
is perhaps, slightly lighter than Salopian, the flowers 
are larger and borne upon longer stems. 
Lady Grisel Hamilton. Flowers of best hooded 
form and extra large size. Standard light lavender with 
azure-blue wings; very light and dainty in effect. 
Lord Roseberry. The large hooded flowers, borne 
on long stems, arc of a rose carmine, showing veins of 
deeper rose. Truly magnificent. 
Lottie Eckford. Standard a peculiar and delicate 
shade cf magenta blue; wings very large, long and shaded 
lavender, deepening to violet at edge. 
Lovely. Beautiful shades of soft shell-pink, changing 
to very light rose at the outer edges.

salmon, buff and cream; wings are light buff. A little 
larger than medium and of hooded form.
