THE SNOWFLAKE SVEET PEA. 



The Snowflake sweet pea was intro- 

 duced last season by W. W. Eawson & 

 Co., Boston. As to its history, Mr. Fuld 

 says: "It appeared with us as a sport 

 on one of the Unwin sweet peas, several 

 years ago, and as it was so distinct as a 

 plant and for color, we sorted it, and 

 really to our surprise we cannot find a 

 single other sweet pea in our entire row 

 other than the true variety."

 plants that have been in bloom since
