Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Commercial catalogs Virginia Richmond. Cardinal CHOICE SV\^EET PEAS. The popularity of Sweet Peas has to a great extent been the result cf the improvement and new varieties introduced in the last few years. In the South they have not been received with the same favor as further ilSTorth, cn account of the difficulty to make them bloom , the hot weather beijg injurious to their growth. Zsow we wish to offer a few suggestions as to culture, and think if they are carefully followed will be attended by good results. In the first place plant early. The first cf February is not too soon, the wealher permit- ting, and if sown three or four inches deep will get good roots and be able to stand the hot -weather very well. They can also be planted in October, and if protected slightly during the winter with a little coarse manure will make excellent plants in the spring. The ground should be moderately rich, and well worked before sow- ing. The following are among the best of the varieties which are oft'ered, and our prices are put low to induce extended cultivation of this most exquisite and fashion- able flower. Emily Henderson.
