Sown early in the spring, it comes into bloom with the Sweet Peas, and the graceful sprays are largely used to give a light loose effect to the bouquets of the latter flower. Fiequeiit sowings should be made for a succession. This flower is highly esteemed by florists abroad, and should be much more extensively grown with us.
