Select List of Sweet Peas 
Too much cannot be said in favor of this much- 
prized flower. Its culture is very simple, and if the 
white-seeded sorts are not sown before the ground 
! is comparatively dry, there is little chance of failure, 
j Sow in new ground as early as may be, so that a 
; fairly good start can be made before the hot weather 
begins.
