FARQUHAR’S COLUMBIAN HYBRID SWEET PEAS. 
This grand mixture of large-flowered Sweet Peas contains more than fifty colors and shades. 
We were the pioneers in introducing to popularity the KeEnT-GRown strains of Sweet PgaAs, so greatly admired by all who know them, 
and this mixture is a step in advance of anything offered elsewhere. They result from long-continued and careful hybridization, and only 
very choice large-flowering sorts are included. The variety is marvelous, while the beauty of the flowers, their colors, length or stem, 
profusion, and duration leave nothing to be desired. ‘They begin to bloom about the end of June, continuing one mass of floral loveliness 
all the season, frost alone ending their flowering. The more they are picked for bouquets the more the flowers come, and the better for the 
vines. -In splendid mixture of colors.
