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 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. 



THE FOLLOWING SWEET PEAS, except where 

 otherwise priced. PER LB., .75 ; HLB., .25 ; OZ.,
