Quincy, Mass., September 30. 
Gentlemen,— It 1s with pleasure that I attest to the superior strain of your flower seeds, especially Sweet Peas 
and Asters. J carried off the Challenge Cup of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for Sweet Peas, two years 
in succession, and the seeds were obtained from you. For Asters, I have been awarded several first and second 
prizes. The Asters were likewise from your seeds, and were excellent. William Patterson, Gardener.

SWEET PEAS. 
We offer a particularly fine strain of these beautiful, 
fragrant, and ever popular favorites. 
Our Sweet Peas are specially grown for us under the 
most favorable conditions as to soil and climate and 
we are consequently enabled to offer strong, fully devel- 
oped seed, of a very superior quality, which produces 
vigorous, healthy plants with long flower-stems and 
large, fragrant blossoms every way superior to those 
from the small, sun=-shrivelled seed usually sold. 
For many years our principal supplies have been grown 
for us in Kent, England, orfrom Kent=grown seed stocks. 
The many testimonials received from all parts of the 
country are the best witnesses as to the unquestionable 
merits of our Sweet Peas. 
The seed should be sown very early in deep soil, enriched with 
decomposed cow manure. The drills should be at least six inches 
= 
deep. Cover the seed about one inch at first. As the plants grow, 
fill in until the drill is full, and carefully avoid covering the young 
plants. Sweet Peas delight ina sunny situation and abundance of 
moisture.
