CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS.

Sweet Peas 
(Lathyrus odoratus). 
We have endeavored to simplify 
the selecting of Sweet Peas by reduc¬ 
ing our list of varieties, and by speci¬ 
fying those sorts that, in the opinion 
of leading specialists, are most repre¬ 
sentative and desirable for persons 
who desire to grow the named kinds. 
Seeds should be sown as early as 
possible, in drills 4 inches deep. At 
the time of sowing cover only with 
one inch of soil and fill in the drill as 
the young plants grow, taking care 
not to cover the top of the plants. A 
deep, rich soil and a sunny situation 
is best.
