MISS WISEMAN’S SUGGESTIONS 
shall use this year, and the grass seed will always 
come in handy.” 
He then gave Joseph several packages of sweet 
pea seeds, white, blue, red, lavender, green and 
pink. Mr. Bradley was a fashionable gardener 
as well as a wise one, and knew that sweet peas of 
one colour make prettier bouquets than when vari- 
ous kinds are mixed together. While assorted 
seeds cost a little more than mixed ones, consider- 
able time was saved later in picking the flowers. 
Joseph’s pockets stuck out on both sides when 
he returned to the house, and he had naturally a 
great deal to say about what he intended doing at 
the Six Spruces. First of all, it was necessary for 
us to decide where we should plant our sweet peas. 
We could not put them on the triangle itself, and 
they were not suitable for flower-beds or borders. 
The boggy corner would not do, since there the 
soil was too moist, and the side by the wood-border 
was far too shady a place. Mr. Bradley had told 
Joseph that they needed plenty of sunshine. 
‘‘Perhaps we can plant them along the wall that 
separates the triangle from Nestly Heights,” Lit- 
tle Joseph said. “The sun can peep at them there 
and the wall will be good for them to lean against 
when they begin to climb.” 
We believed we had decided the matter, when 
Miss Wiseman returned from where she had been 
looking for a catalogue, and naturally had some- 
thing to say about planting sweet peas.
