The “Prize Winner” Collection of Sweet Peas we consider the best Collection ever sent out for variety, distinctiveness and indi- 
vidual superiority. It is composed mostly of the latest introductions, though there are in the collection a few of the older varieties of such 
distinctiveness and beauty that THEY ARE INDISPENSABLE in every collection.
