NEW SWEET PEAS. 



NEW SWEET PEA "CUPID" The Floral Wonder. Who can resist Cupid, the 

 little " God of Love? " Surely not flower lovers, when he comes with snowy 

 wings, bearing creamy white standards, with a wealth of delightful perfume. 

 Cupid is a charming dwarf sweet pea, which grows only five inches high; the 

 pretty little vine is completely covered with large snowy white flowers, 

 deliciously fragrant ; it makes wonderfully attractive pot plants and a lovely 

 border plant for the garden. 10 cts. pkt.

 coloring being on the back of standard. The flowers are of a hooded form,

 when bunched alone, giving a decidedly gray effect.
