Sweet Peas are among the most useful, ornamental and beautiful of 
all our hardy annuals. Nothing can be better for large bouquets, as the 
flowers are lively and delicate, varying in color from the darkest purple 
imaginable, and including the brightest pinks; as fragrant as Mignon¬ 
ette. Sowed or wired thickly on a palm leaf or Japanese fans, with 
maiden hair ferns or other delicate green, they make a charming evening 
floral fan for brides or anybody. 
The Sweet Pea luxuriates in a cool, moist soil, and in a damp season. 
Should be sown four inches deep in stiff, heavy soil, and from six to eight 
inches, in light soil, and as early in the spring as possible. Don't wait for 
fair weaUur. 
Use plenty of seed, so that they will not be more than an inch apart. 
Hoc the earth toward the plant a little, but do not form a ridge, and 
furnish support early. The Flowering Sweet Peas are the sweetest of 
our climbing annuals. 
For N ew Va rieties, see colored pages. The two below are 
not Climbers, but Creepers, and nice for baskets, not fragrant.

“ Blossoms rich with fragrant memories 1 when your petaled sweets unfold 
The doors of Time swing backward , angels tune their harps of gold , 
Music smmds as once it sounded when my heart was all a-glow, 
Ere I knew life's bleak December with its cold and blinding snow. 
I see the dear home garden with its flying blossoms fair , 
Their pink wings all extended , bright angels of the air , 
They bear me on their fragile wings across the years so long , 
Strange that life's music e'er can be only a memory song! ” 
— Nellie Hart Woodworth.
