MIXTURE OF SWEET PEAS. 



BOUQUET COLLECTION MIXTURE OF THE LATEST IN- 

 TRODUCTIONS — This mixture for many seasons has met with 

 the unstinted praise of our numerous customers. We have again 

 carefully selected the varieties and added all the meritorious 

 new ones to the mixture. The colors are mostly pink and 

 white shades, with a sprinkling of the other colors to give it 

 tone. Only the best of the large-flowering types have been 

 used, and we claim this to be an Extra Select Mixture. Per 

 large pkt. 10c; per oz. 20c; per % lb. 50c: per lb. $1.50.

 ture is composed of varieties all of the largest flowering, in

DOUBLE SWEET PEAS. 



Double Sweet Peas have divided or multiplied standards, 

 usually two, but sometimes three and four standards, each 

 as large as the ordinary standard of the single sort. Under 

 very favorable conditions this doubling is almost constant, but 

 there is always a tendency to run back to single flowers.

SWEET PEAS In Separate Shades of Color. 



Many of our customers prefer to grow Sweet Peas in 

 patches of color, instead of a mixture of all colors. Grown in 

 this manner they can be picked and more easily arranged into 

 bouquets with effective color blendings. We offer shades 

 selected only from our finest named sorts: 

 Pink Shades. Lavender Shades.
