Sweet peas must have a soil that is both deep and rich, and they must have full exposure to sunlight and air on both sides of them. The exact time of sowing will of course depend upon the latitude, but usually by the middle or end of March in the latitude of New York, sweet peas may be put in. The best guide for the time is the condition of the soil.” Tn the American Magazine for February Ray Stannard Baker says: “A prominent business man who believes that the moral education of children is the greatest present need of the nation, has recently asked the Natton,al Institution for Moral Instruction to carry through a national competition for a priz£ of five thousand dollars for the best code of morals for schools and homes. He has furnished twenty-five hundred dollars for the expenses of the competition, and has become a patron of the institution for two hundred dollars a year.” Mrs. Catherine Nussman. widow of the late John Nussman, died at 10 o’clock Thursday morning at the family home, 715 East Wayne street, following a brief illness due to apoplexy.
