Sweet Peas. 



Concord, N. H., Dec. 13, 1900. 

 Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co., 

 Boston, Mass. 

 Gentlemen: — From a dollars' worth of Mixed Sweet 

 Peas bought from you last spring and planted in a 

 double row thirty-eight feet long, I have gathered 

 13,434 blossoms and 1,037 matured Seed Pods, besides 

 many flowers of which no account was taken. They 

 were planted without any fertilizer whatever. 



I mention these facts as showing the strong vitality 

 of the seeds and vigor of your strain. 



Yours very truly, Warner Bailey. 



The extraordinary improvement resulting from the work of hybridizers on Sweet Peas 

 during the past few years has been unprecedented. Colors quite new to the Sweet Pea have been obtained while 

 the flowers have been improved in size and form and increased in number.

7500 FARQUHAR'S COLUnBIAN HYBRIDS. FIN- 

 EST MIXED, This mixture contains over fifty of 

 the finest large-flowering varieties and none of the in- 

 ferior sorts. The balance of color is carefully studied 

 and the proportion of each variety weighed out before 

 being mixed. Most of them have long stems each 

 carrying three or four flowers of the finest substance 

 and superb colors. The more they are picked the 

 more the flowers come, and the better for the vines.
