 Mr. George Butler, gardener for W. A. L. Bazeley, 

 Esq., Uxbridge, Mass., Feb. 17, 1905, vvrites: 

 Kindly forward enclosed list at your earliest conven- 

 ience. The usual spring order will follovi later. Last 

 year's seed results were entirely satisfactory ; was awarded 

 about fifteen first premiums, including the first premium 

 for Sweet Peas at the IVorcester Horticultural Sweet Pea 

 Show. Thanking you for past attention. 



Mr. John Phillips, Brooklyn, Conn., March 10, 1905, 

 writes: 

 The Sweet Peas I raised from seed obtained from you 

 last rear were the finest I ever saw and were the envy of 

 the whole town. The vines were loaded with blossoms 

 from the time they commenced blooming until late in the 

 fall. My wife obtained first premium on collection of 

 Sweet Peas at our fair last fall. 



The rapid increase in the number of closely allied or 

 assumed varieties of Sweet Peas during the past few 

 years has caused much confusion and aimoyance. We 

 have consequently discarded the inferior sorts and syn- 

 onyms, retaining the finest in each class. These we have 

 classified as nearly as possible, according to their colors, 

 to facilitate and simplify selection.
