SWEET-PEAS. Nat. Ord., Leguminosaz. 
Sweet-Peas ( Lnthi/rus Odoratus) are universal favorites, and may be truly ranked 
among the most desirable annuals that enrich the flower-garden. In addition to their 
beauty and ornamental appearance, they possess a rich and delightful fragrance, and are 
very valuable as cut-flowers, for bouquets, vases, &c. 
The other species of annual ornamental peas are not fragrant; but their flowers are of 
showy colors, and they are also useful for cutting. All the kinds may be grown in the 
form of a hedge, or in small groups, supported with brush; or they may be planted in 
circles of two or three feet in diameter, and five to ten feet apart, each color by itself, or 
mixed. Before the plants commence to climb, place a strong stake, about five feet high, in 
the centre of the circle, and train them on strings running from pegs firmly placed around 
the circumference, to the top of the stake, thus forming a pyramid. This is a very pretty 
method, and the blossoms appear to good advantage. Sowthe seed three or four inches 
deep, as early in spring ns possible, the earlier the better, and supply brush or sticks for 
their support early. If not allowed to ripen seeds, they will bloom in profusion from July 
to the end of the season.
