on a card you list 'em;
' They're spanked upon a schedule, and

And tell you when they ought to

Varieties of Summer -Flowering Sweet Peas
(Experimental Farms Note)
Sweet peas have not always exist-
ed as we know them today. While
seed was offered for sale as early as
the year 1724, much of the improve,
ment with this flower has taken place
within comparatively recent years.
The origination; in 1904, of the Spen-
cer type of sweet pea was probably
the beginning of the superb waved
and frilled varieties now grown. The
recent introduction of the new ruffled
type has been still another advance
and well worthy of note.
To the already large number of
varieties in existence, many are be-
ing added each year. In 1933 the
National Sweet Pea Society of Eng-'

Linked with the days and nights for-

Chained to the now, and with the
Years to. be,
There is a time that comforts first
and last,
Both saint . and sinner, friend and
enemy;
A time that knows no love, no hate,
no fear,
When peace is real, and doubts are
satisfied;
A' time that never holds a smile nor
tear—
More blest than all the rest of life,
beside.
We cannot summon back an hour, a
face, -
A scene long gone that glimmers.
like a star;.
In all our wanderings we may not
trace
A reason for the way we've come
thus far;
And yet, the angels might, with envy,
weep,
When tired mortals drink their cups
of sleep.
Waiting the com ng ay.
"Sleep on in peace, ye slumbering
seeds of truth,
Gathered and fixed in days of buoy-
ant youth,
Embedded in the mind:
The day of hope and signs of life
appear;
And soon the blade, then the full
corn in ear,
Shall wave before the wind ..."
