cecrenn ™ OWEET PEAS. 
Beautiful in their modest loveliness, perfection in form, graceful in arrangement, delightfulin 
perfume, exquisite in coloring, lavish in bloom, unequaled for cutting, bright and showy in the 
Zarden, of the easiest culture, succeeding with everybody, in short, irresistible in their wealth of 
charms. If the primitive varieties were such fragrant favoritiesin the old-fashioned garden, is it 
to be wondered at, with the wonderfully improved sorts of the present time, with increased size, 
better shape, greater quantity of bloom, with three or four flowers borne on a stem, and with 
lovely new colors, that Sweet Peas are now enjoying unprecedented popularity? Bushy 
climbers, 4 to 6 feet high, flowering through summer and autumn from seed sown in the spring- 
Special Notice of our New Departure in offering 
ONLY THE GREAM OF THE SWEET PEAS. 
There are too many so-called varieties of Sweet Peas offered to the 
public. Many of them are alike, or so nearly so that experts can scarcely 
distinguish them apart. The list of over one hundred varieties is being 
added to at the rate of a dozen or moreannually, and we feel that 
itis time to commence culling out the older varieties that have 
been improved upon, the newer sorts that have reverted back or 
are not improvements, andthe sorts that havebeen offered under 
different names by different firms, which we have proved at our 
trial grounds to be thesame thing. There are, of course, many 
excellent sorts in our discarded list, but a counterpart or an im- 
provement has in all cases been retained. 
An ounce of Sweet Peas contains from 
300 to 400 seeds, enough to sow a 
single row 25 feet long. Our packets 
of all (excepting the Novelties) are 
liberal, containing about 75 
enough to sow a single row 6 feet long.
