MIXTURE OF SWEET PEAS.

 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. 15c; per Vs, lb. 40c; per lb. $1.00.

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 on the single sort. Under 

 very favorable conditions this doubling is almost constant, but 

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