SWEET PEAS. 
(Lathyrus Odoratus.) 
No other annual at the present time 
is so universally popular as the deli¬ 
cate and fragrant Sweet Pea. The 
delicious fragrance, and large flowers 
of this popular class of annuals, with 
the great beauty of the many new 
introductions should have the atten¬ 
tion of all cultivators of flowers. It 
is hardly necessary to state that the 
Sweet Pea is a climber, continuing 
in flower the whole summer, and is as 
fragrant as the Mignonette. A very 
desirable plant for back-ground or 
screen in the garden, supported by a 
row of brush. Plant as early in the 
spring as possible. Don't wait for 
warm weather. And after the plants 
commence blooming, cut all the 
flowers, allowing none to go to seed, 
for by so doing they will continue to 
bloom until the frost takes them in 
the fall. See colored plate.
