Our Surprise Collection of Sweet Peas, illustrated on cover page, has "been care- 

 fully selected as to colors, size and substance of flowers, and we have no hesitation 

 in saying that the 12 varieties- here offered are the pick of all the numerous sorts of 

 Sweet Peas. While they are not all new sorts, they are all varieties of established 

 merit, belonging to the large flowered class, and should be liberally represented in every garden. Success with Sweet Peas can 

 be best obtained by paying careful attention to the following brief directions: 

 DON'T expect Sweet Peas to thrive in soil too poor for any other plants, 

 or in a sunless location. They need, as nearly as possible, a free clay 

 loam, moderately rich and freely cultivated. 



DON'T overfeed. With a view to obtaining vigorous growth and profusion 

 of bloom, bone meal is the best fertilizer. 



DON'T sow too shallow. Plant the seeds not less than two inches deep, and 

 as the plants become established bank the soil against them, repeating 

 this two or three times throughout the season. 



DON'T gather blooms grudgingly- The more you cut the longer the vine 

 will continue to flower. Hemember, when they go to seed, Sweet Peas 

 will cease flowering.

No garden is complete without a few of the gorgeous colored Nasturtiums— the dwarf 

 sorts for beds or borders— the climbing ones to cover fences, trellis, banks, stumps of trees, or any unsightly places. No flowers 

 so well repay the cultivator's efforts, and none require so little to bring to perfection. We have this year illustrated ou our cover 

 page a few of the choice colors that are contained in our Cream City Mixture, but they do not begin to tell the variations of color 

 that are found in our mixture. The flowers are much larger than the old-fashioned sorts, being made up from the newest and best 

 Hybrids, while the wealth of color produced is remarkable, ranging from pale sulphur yellow to orange and brown, pale rose to 

 scarlet and dark maroon, while many are beautifully splashed and blotched ; others have pretty throat markings, while others 

 have lovely shadings on the edges of the petals. Our mixture this year has been improved by the addition of several new and 

 distinct colors, including the New Chameleon, a remarkable variety which throws flowers of several colors on the one plant.

Our front cover illustration does no more than justice to these brilliant colored and 

 chaste Columbines. They are of the easiest cultivation, and when once planted are 

 permanent. In fact they take care of themselves and increase in size, and as time goes on the clumps will require to be taken up
