S'vtfeet Peas. 
This is our favorite flower, and in writing about it we feel 
wo can never say enough to do justice to its great beauty 
and fragrance. The Pansy, the Aster, the Poppy, the Ver¬ 
bena, etc., all have their ardent admirers, but to us give the 
delicately beautiful, yet brilliant and fragrant Sweet Pea. 
For hedges or masses in the garden, trained on brush or 
strings, they are exceedingly showy, but for cutting for 
bouquets, vases, corsage or buttonhole wear, no flower ex¬ 
cept the Rose can equal them. Sweet Peas are so cheap and 
easily grown, there is no reason why every one should not 
have them in abundance. To succeed best, sow seed as early 
as the ground can be worked in the spring. They will soon 
be out of ground and will need to be supported by brush or 
strings. They commence blooming early, and if the flowers 
are picked as fast as they fade, will continue all summer. 1 f 
allowed to form seed they will soon stop flowering and die 
down. The Sweet Pea is to-day one of the most popular 
garden flowers. Their pretty colors and delightful perfume 
make them one of the most charming flowers. I n weight we 
sell more Sweet Peas than any other kind of seed we handle. 
Plant u good lot for the beautiful bouquets of sweet blos¬ 
soms they will yield you. The collection hero offered is su¬ 
perb, all new and improved varieties of great beauty.
