(1 otloratus.) These exceedingly beautiful and fragrant hardy annuals are now most popular. Directions for Culture.—Sweet Peas succeed best in a deep, rich soil. The most apptoved method of cultivation is to sow in a trench rive or six inches deep, covering them at first with only one inck of soil : then as the plants grow, fill in with dirt about them one at a time. After the plants are well grown up- they should be watered copiously, and bone meal worked into the soil about the roots is recommended Proper trellis or other supports should be provided. The first sowing of Sweet Peas may be made very early in the Spring; as soon as the frost is out of the ground. For a succession, some should be sown ever\' few weeks afterwards. For Fall flowering, they may be sown as late as July. By cutting the flowers before they fade, thus preventing pods forming, the blossoms may be confined the whole season. SWEET PEAS.
