sweet pea first came to from the Sicilian nuns.
F'rarcscus Cupani a monk who was also a
botanist. sent the first seeds to England in the
year 1899, consigned to an Enfield schoolmaster
named Dr.. Uvedale. The old Middlesex dominic
was both a bctanist and horticulturst, and he
grew the first sweet peas ever seen in England.
Cupani called the plant Lathyrus distoplaty-
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-
rus odoratus.
DR.. Uvelale 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. Kensng-
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 century later than
Cupani's consignment of secds) that any new col

A Superstitjon Party.

porch SO all would have to pass under
1t to enter the house. All the black
cats in the neighborhood were Dor.
rowed for the occasion and salt was
spilled in front Of each plate at the
table. The party was on Friday. on the
thirteenth day Of the month. and each
guest was asked to tell his favorite
superstition. The favors were scissors,
knives and tiny purses without the pro-
verbal lucky cent" The result of Thu;
party was that no one died within the
year, all remained good friends, and.
In spite Of the looking glass which the
hostess shattered Just before going in
the dining room. none had bad luck.
This affair could be combined with
Halloween stunts and make a Jolly
time for tomorrow night or during the
week. when fads and fancies pertain
