If you have been troubled with badly 

 mixed Pea seeds, or immatured seed that 

 does not grow, try our hand-picked seed. 

 Bach pod is picked when ripe and ma- 

 tured, instead of pulling up the vines 

 and stacking them to cure, then thre.ih- 

 ing them in a machine as most growers 

 do. While picking by hand the fields get 

 rogued almost daily, not only for oft 

 colors but Winter flowering plants only 

 are permitted to remain. Machine 

 threshed seed has many mixed colors in 

 it because it is impossible to clean the 

 machine when changing from one color 

 to another. Our system of hand-picking 

 and hand-hulling does away with rogues 

 and immatured seed. This seed is worth 

 much more than others — but our prices 

 are about the same:

 rich, true, deep lavender throughout.

 fully true waved form, and borne 

 in threes and fours on stems of great 

 length. Oz. $1.50, V* lb. $4.00, lb. $14.00.

 but finer form, as the standard does 

 not reflex but is magnificently bold, 

 though charmingly waved. A vigorous 

 grower, the immense flowers are inva- 

 riably borne in fours on very long 

 stems. This is the last word in White 

 Sweet Peas. Oz. $2..50, >4 lb. $8.00.
