New Orchid-Flowered Sweet Peas 



These are a distinct "break" in Sweet Peas, dirtenng Irom the standard sorts by the extraoroinaiy size 

 of their flowers, usually measuring 2 inches across, and by the standards being crinkled and wavy, while 

 the wings are large and spreading. Another sp endid fcatutc is that a very large percentage bear tour 

 blossoms to the stem, which are long and strong. To sum up, they possess every characteristic that can 

 be desi red in Sweet Peas, and will undoubtedly supersede stand ird sorts of same color as soon as they 

 become more plentiful ,,
