SWEET PEAS 



THF Kttlhl This novelt y is a beautiful 

 1 "*- umi/L large, white-seeded variety 

 which has been selected by Mr. Lynch, o*f 

 Mcnlo Park, lor the past four years. It is a 

 pure white selection from Mrs. Eckford and 

 is the strongest gerrainator among all the 

 white-seeded varieties — so often poor grow- 

 ers. Grown for tin' cut Mower market of San 

 Francisco in competition with the other 

 high-class whiles like Blanche Burpee and 

 Emily Henderson, it has brought the highest 

 figures over them all, taking first rank among 

 all the whites. Mr. Lynch claims thai it is 

 equal in size and form of any white variety 

 grown, and every seed will "grow, an impor- 

 tant advantage, :is tie- early plantings 

 always succeed. 



The Cornell Bulletin In naming the best Sweet 

 Peas of each color, classes The Bride tirBt as a 

 white, with Emily Henderson second and 

 Blanche Burpee third. 



Prof. Tracy. In a recent review of some of the 

 newer Sweet Peas says: "The especial merit of 

 this variety (The Bride) Is in Its length, strength 

 and grace of flower stem, and the disposition of 

 the blooms thereon, being one of our best sorts 

 In these respects, and forming an exceedingly 

 graceful bunch "
