HAND PICKED— Not Machine Threshed. 



WINTBB-FLOWKRINO SPKNCER and 



ORCHID BWEirr PEAS. 



For Greenhouse Use 



If you have been troubled with 

 badly mixed Pea seeds, or Immatured 

 seed that does not grow, try our hand- 

 ploked seed. Each pod is picked when 

 ripe and matured. Instead of pulling 

 up the vines and stacking them to 

 cure, then threshing them In a ma- 

 chine as most growers do. While 

 picking by hand the fields get rogued 

 almost dally, not only for oft colors 

 but Winter flowering plants only are 

 permitted to remain. Machine threshed 

 seed has many mixed colors In it be- 

 cause 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.

 out. The flowers are of large size, beau- 

 tifully true waved form, and borne in

 Yarrawa size, but finer form, as the 

 standard does not reflex but is magnifi- 

 cently bold, though charmingly waved.

 ers are invariably borne in fours on 

 very long stems. This is the last word 

 in WTiite Sweet Peas. Oz. $2,50. % lb.

 sentative Byrnes states that he will ask 

 an earlj' hearing on it. The text of the 

 proposed bill is as follows:
