*SWEET PEA FRAGRANCE 
Nothing else will quite replace the Sweet Peas. They are 
the most delightful of annual flowers. A garden without

the growing, and so are Radishes, but who would. prefer 
either to Sweet Peas. All there is to it is to get the seed 
in the ground early, first possible spring moment. In 
drought, give them a hose-soaking now and then. If you 
can, mulch about them with grass clippings, leaves or straw 
to give the cool root-run that delights them. FRILLED
