BODDINGTON'S QUALITY 



SWEET PEAS 



We are headquarters for all the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a specialty of this grand annual. Our 

 collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date varieties have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of 

 real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there are over six hundred named varieties, you will doubtless miss some old favorite 

 that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety ; we could certainly send a variety equally good. 



The demand for the Spencer types almost exceeds that of the Unwin and Grandiflora types combined, and, if you wish a Fine Prize- 

 winning Collection, it is essential that you should favor this form of Sweet Peas. The flowers are larger than those of the ordinary 

 type, and bear, for the most part, four orchid-like flowers, that arc fluted and ruffled, on a stem. 



If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions.
