Romance of the Sweet Pea

novelty in the form Of a striped flower was
offered in the year 1887 by Mr.. James Carter and
in the year 1850 there appeared the first bloom
of the choice pcoteeedged varieties which are
so popular today. The latter was raised by Major
Trevor Clarke 1t was a fine white flower with
an edging of blue, and Major Clarke scored a
double triumph, for his flower also the
first sweet pea with blue cooring
The greatest revolution in the history Of the
sweet pea, however, was lhaugurated on July %.
1901, when. at the National Sweet Pea socety's
first exhibition, held in the old Royal Aquarium
London, Mr.. Silas Cole, Earl Spencer's gardener
at Althorp park, displayed the famous Countess
Spencer, beautiful pink variety with wavy
instead of the conventional smooth standard The
loneliness Of the new form the hearts Of all
growers at once and during the last ten years so
great has been the increase of wavy or fried va
rleties after the Spencer type that the latter now
rules the sweet pea world.
Some hybridists engaged particularly at
present in adding to the list of marbled varieties
of which the blue-veined Helen Pierce is so choice
an example, and it is possible that much more
effort may be expended In future In the ATTEMPT
to produce flowers with striking and delicate
venation.

Money for tuberculosis Work.

Money for tuberculosis Work.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
gives forcible Illustration Of the way
IN which a small sum spent ia educa-
ton has secured large appropriations
from state, county, and municipal Of
ficials. The New York State Chari-
ties Aid association in the three years,
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion of New York about
$55,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers of tuberculosis. As direct
result of the public sentiment pro-
duced by this outlay, the state, coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work s1,500,000 and appropriations for
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds Of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa-
ton already aims for mo Uncared'for
tuberculosis in 1875
Thus, the National association says
If 100000 is realized from the sale
Of Red Cross seals, millions more will
be added to it from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,O00,OOO stamps
were sold. 1t Is aimed to sell fou
times as many this year.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws
with such a feeling as to my duty
| take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation | have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T IS my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery Of the hui
man system on the days work.
"In cases Of indigestion | know that
complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nuts and cream and ! think it Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach Is too weak to digest other
food.
"This Is written after an experience
Of more than 20 years, treating all
manner Of chronic and acute diseases,
and the letter Is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for it."

sweet pea first came to US from the Sicilian nuns.
FranCisCus Cupani monk, who was also
hotanist. sent the first seeds to England in the
year 1899. consigned to an Enfield schoolmaster
named DR. Uvedale. The old Middlesex dominic
was both botanist and horticulturist, and he
grew the first sweet peas ever seen in England.
Cupani called the plant Lathyrus distopaty-
phyllus hirsutis mollis ct odorus-an unwieldy
name, out of all harmony with the winged grace
Of the sweet pea. Later Linnaeus cut down the
clumsy designation to its present form of Lathy-
odoratus.
DR.. Uvedae found the seeds produced a plant
with purple flowers, and so here we have the
color of the original sweet pea,
The stock was gradually multiplied, and about
thirty years later one Robert Furber, Kensing
ton gardener, was the first to offer seeds for
sale.
Progress In the production OF new varieties
was slow in those remote days. and 1t was not
until the year 1893 (nearly a century later than
Cupanis consignment of seeds) that any new col
ors became known. In the year mentioned, how
ever catalogue was issued, which described
black, scarlet and white varieties.
What became of the black and scarlet sorts, II
they ever existed in those true colors, is not
known. The black must have been deep purple.
The blacklist bloom is still the dark purple Tom
Bolton. In this connection, seeing that for years
past hybridists have been trying to produce a
pure yellow sweet pea, it may be said that the

THE ..RED

Like a tunderbolt out of a clear sky
comes the announcement, followed by
carefully prepared statistics, that the
terrible fred plague is scourging
America four fold greater than the
white plague" 1t is asserted that
five per cent of the married women are
affected; that fifty per cent of divorces
are caused by it; that twenty-five per
cent of the storile marriages are caused
by it and fifty per cent of the blindness
and other ailments of babies are
among it's direst results. When
the terrible scourge of tuberlosis
is sweeping annually. so many
to untimely graves it seems ap-
palling to learn that there are four
victims of the "red' plague to one
of the "white;'' that until now it has
moved without restraint among the
people, poisoning by its foul touch the
innocent as well as the guilty, shielded
by a fnniky sentiment that kept IL
immune from exposure; that the law
is imperative in exposing its less dan
gerous infectious plaques, sucn as
smallpox and the deadly fevers. 1t is
now proposed to take the matter IN
hand and secure drastic laws, compel
ling physicians to register and report
every case, and if necessary nvok the
law of quarantine to herd the danger

1t is proposed to make the movement
international for mutual protection. 1t
will stir up 'society" as lever be-
fore known, but the stirring cannot
come one minute too soon. 1t is now
conceded that no evil claims as many
victims annually as this, which relent-
lessly destroys soul and body, at the
same time sowing the seeds of a fear
full punishment upon future generations.
