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 annoyance. We 

 have consequently discarded the inferior sorts and syno- 

 nyms retaining the finest kind of each class. These we 

 have classified as nearly as possible, according to their 

 colors to facilitate and simplify selection.
