Boddington's Quality Christmas 

 and Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas 



LL true stocks of Winter- Flowering Sweet Peas will lie scarce this season. Some varieties are a total failure, owing to 

 the exceptional season in California this Spring. We can make immediate delivery of the varieties marked with a 

 star (*), the balance we are expecting from our grower in California at any time. Our advice to intending planters 

 is to order early. 



Our stocks of Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the largest 

 growers of this Increasingly popular flower, as to the trueuess and quality of our seed, earliness of blooming period, 

 and strength and habit of plants. 



The following varieties are the "b est by test" and include Zvolanek's and our own introductions, grown for 

 seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Peas. Our output last year was nearly 6000 lbs. 

 No kicks and plenty of testimonials as to quality, germination and trueness to type.
