SWEET PEAS. Little need be said of the beauty, fragrance and value of the Sweet Pea. It has long been a great favorite and is now one of the most popular of all flowers. This is chiefly due to the labors of Henry Eckford of England, who has had remarkable success in improving this favorite flower, and has originated many new varieties of large size and new colors and tints. The culture of Sweet Peas is very easy. They should be planted as early in spring as the ground can be worked and be given the same treatment you would give garden peas. Plant in double rows ten inches apart and six feet between these rows; make the drills about four inches deep and sow at the rate of two ounces to each rod of double row, and do not cover the seeds with more than two inches of soil until the plants are up, but fill in a little each time they are hoed until the drills are nearly but not quite level full. After danger from cut worms is past, thin out the plants to about 3 inches apart in the rows. As soon as the peas are up stick brush at least six feet tall between the double rows. There are now over 150 varieties of Sweet Peas. Many of them are so nearly alike in colors that "it is impossible for anyone but an ex- pert to distinguish them apart, many of the new sorts being an improvement in size or form. T have discarded all inferior sorts and my customers can depend on the varietie;- named below being the best up to date, con taining only those combining the highest de velopment'in size form and color,—the very cream of all. !
