(Lathynis odoratus.) These exceedingly beautiful and fragrant hardy annuals are now most popular. Dikectioxs for Cultube.—Sweet Peas succeed best in a deep, rich soil. The most approved method of cultivation is to sow in a trench 5 or G inches deep, covering them at first with only one incJi of soil ; then as the plants grow, fill in the earth about them one inch 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 every few weeks afterwards. For fall flowering, they may be sown as late as July. Then, again, they may be sown late in the fall for very early blooming the following spring, but in that case a dry situation is preferable, and they should be sown 4 or 5 inches deep, and not by the trench method.
