*. SWEET PEAS. Price per plcg. 
These well-known universal favorites have been much im¬ 
proved, the last few years, in size and variety of colors, and for 
beauty and fragrance cannot be surpassed, embracing as they do 
every shade of color most delicately tinged and variegated. Sow 
in drills as early as possible in the spring in rich soil. Make a 
furrow six inches deep, sow the seed and cover about two inches. 
As soon as the plants begin to show fill in the furrow. This deep 
planting will enable the vines to stand the heat of summer. By 
cutting the flowers before they fade, thus preventing pods from 
forming, the blossoms may be continued the whole season.
