DOUBLE SWEET PEAS. 
The flowers of these do not all come 
double, but usually produce from 20 to 40 
per cent. of double blossoms. In some uncon- 
geniallocalities or situations they have proved 
very inconstant, producing no double flowers 
at all, butin such cases they make upfor the de- 
* ficiency in doubles by producingin greatest pro- 
fusion large single flowers of beautiful colors. 
Only with this understanding with purchasers 
do we supply the seeds. Such flowers as do 
come double are of incomparable beauty. 
Sometimes they will all come double on one 
stem, sometimes all single, but. generally 
doubles and singles are borne about half-and- 
half on each stem. Pkt. Oz.

SWEET 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 
garden, of the easiest culture, succeeding with every body, in short, irresistible im their wealth of 
charms. Ifthe primitive varieties were such fragrant favorities in 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 astem, 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 have been 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 seeds, 
enough to sow a single row 6 feet long.

HENDERSON'S MIXED SWEET PENS cceseon= 
SS 
Henderson’s Mixed Sweet Peas, all brightcolors,in 
proper proportions mixed from 380 standard varieties se- 
lectedfrom our ‘‘Creamof the Named Sweet Peas”’ offered 
on next page, including both American and Eckford’s vari- 
eties. A row of our Mixed Sweet Peas in bloom is bright 
and varied in coloring and particularly pleasing, and 
vastly superior to many mixtures sent out, which are too 
often madeup from the surplus of varieties that have accu- 
mulated on account of their undesirability. Some of the 
Mixed Sweet Peas, as sent out, in our competitive trials, 
proved to be 90 per cent. dull blue and purples. Price 
of Henderson’s Mixed Sweet Peas: 5c. per large 
packet (about 100 seeds); 10c. per 0z. (300 to 400 seeds) ; 
20c. per 4 1b.; 50c. 1b., delivered free in U.S.
