Show A Window Decoration. What in more beautiful for a low screen around the kitchen windows than sweet peas. If the kitchen is on tho sunny tide of the house they will luxuriate with no other fertilizer than tho soap suds of the weekly washing. The seed should be planted very early in the season, in a rich, sunny place, as deep as six or eight inches. Some floriculturists plant them in the fall, putting them down the depth of ten inches ami covering the ground with rich fertilizer. They must be given something for support as soon as they nr? out cf the ground. Bushes may lie i used for this purpose, but a wiro gauze of large nieth, painted a medium shade of green, is prettier than anytning else. The new varieties of sweet peas are considerably con-siderably larger than tho old varieties and will covt r a trellis from four to six feet in height. A mixture of black-purple swtt peas with the old fashioned rose and white "painted lady" looks very pretty on such a trellis. Xew York Tribune. |
