"â â SWEET BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. The last few years, has seen a wonderful development k in Sweet Pea culture. For many years previously the \ "Grandiflora" type Had maintained an unchallenged leader- \ ship, and new types, were very slow in making their ':>v. appearance. About ten years ago, however, after several years of experimentation a distinctively new type was de- veloped in the gardens of Earl Spencer in England. The new "flower was called "Countess Spencer," and from this magnificent sort has been developed that remarkable class of Giant Orchid-Flowered Spencer Sweet Peas known and admired throughout the horticultural -world. The "Grandi- floras" are somewhat better able to adapt themselves to ad- verse conditions and under such conditions do give greater satisfaction, but when properly grown the "Spencers" in size of blossoms, their beauty of form, substance and color, the unusual number on a stem, and in the long continu- ance of their blossoming season ea-ily maintain an unap- proachable leadership. Our list embraces the best of both types, including also the finest of the beautiful waved "Un- win" varieties. Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can be worked. The plants should not, however, be grown two succes- sive seasons on the same ground. It will be found a most excellent plan to make a trench about 6 inches deep, in which plant the Seed?, covering at first to a depth of 2 inches; gradually draw in the soil as they advance in growth; this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to Seed, as once in the Seed pod
