General Remarks.— Lathyrus Odoratus, or Sweet Pea, first reached 
the British Isles from its sunny home in the Mediterranean about two centuries since, 
but the modest bluish purple Vetch-like flower scarcely shadowed forth a promise of 
the foremost position it now occupies in the floral world. Were it now to be suddenly 
removed from our gardens many an “ aching void” would be experienced ; but we are 
glad to believe that it will continue to be a favourite flower, and delight generations 
yet unborn. It is remarkable for its delicious fragrance, elegant and graceful form, and 
general adaptability for decorative purposes—vases, tables, posies, &c. ; it is, in fact, 
an indispensable flower. It is worthy of remark that the number cf new varieties of all 
shades has reached portentous dimensions, so that it may be convenient to our customers 
to be informed which we consider to be the most distinct and desirable colours. See
