THE RELATION OF SWEET AND GARDEN 
PEAS 
Are the sweet peas and the garden 
edible pea related S. L. C. 
While of the same family, leguminoscv, 
they are not of the same genera, the 
garden pea being a variety of Pisum 
sativum, and the sweet pea, Lathyrus 
odoratus. The everlasting or perennial 
pea whose flowers resemble the sweet 
pea hut are not sweet scented is Lathyrus 
latifoUus. The descriptive word “pea”

NON-BLOOMING DAHLIAS 
Why is it my Dahlias did not bloom 
but very little last year I I gave them a 
very rich soil and they grew splendidly, 
were tall and strong and had fine foliage 
but few flowers. 1 . O. P. 
Your main trouble was in growing 
your plants in an over-rich soil. You 
induced a strong vigorous growth that 
might, in time, had the season been long 
enough, have given you good flowers. 
Frost comes too early with most of us 
and we must endeavor to produce early 
blooms. Plant in a well-worked, but 
not rich soil, in a sunny position. Place 
the rows four feet apart, and set the 
tubers three feet apart in the row. The 
first of June is early enough to plant. 
Place the tubers so that the top is three 
to four inches below the surface. Thin 
the shoots out to one or two main stalks. 
When they are three or four inches tall, 
pinch out the tops. This is to induce 
branching. When two feet tall, place 
fresh or half-rotted manure in a circle
