HENDERSON'S 
smn Giant-flowering Sweet Peas. 
WEET PEAS—beautiful in their modest loveliness, perfection in form, graceful in arrangement, delightful in perfume, exquisite in coloring, lavish in bloom, un- 
S equalled for cutting, gay and cheery in the garden, of the easiest culture, zn short, irresistible in their wealth of charms. If the primitive varieties were such 
favorites in the old-fashioned garden, is it to be wondered at, with the wonderfully improved sorts of the present time, with increased size, better shape, 
greater quantity of bloom, with three and four flowers borne on astem, and with lovely new colors, that Sweet Peas are now enjoying unprecedented popularity ? 
Henderson’s Selections of Giant Sweet Peas, on the page following, are, we think, the best set of Sweet Peas ever gotten together, comprising all colors and shades, 
latestintroductions and older varieties of merit, without duplicating any sorts closely similar. Our system of discarding all weakly-growing sorts and all inferior 
small and dull-colored varieties, and offering only the ‘‘cream,’’ is now beginning to be appreciated. 
HENDERSON’S MIXED 
Giant Hybrid Sweet Peas 
Mixed from the recent novelties of both Eckford’s and Amer- 
ican varieties, including many unnamed new hybrids of re- 
markable beauty, size, form and sweetness, among which

pink, straw. silvery-lilac, blood-red, cerise, blush ; others 
edged, blended, mottled, speckled, flaked, striped, etc. 
This is absolutely the finest mixture that can be made.

“YourS weet Pea seed produced superb blossoms; 
no other seed that we have had equalled it for 
beauty ofblossoms, variety of colors, length ofstems 
or endurance of vines.’’—Miss A. M. DICKSON, St. 
Paul, Minn.

Peas,’ and people came from a great distance to admire 
them ; they were the wonder of the country. I have grown 
Sweet Peas for years hut neverfind any seed equal to yours.” 
—Mrs. GERTRUDE BUTLER, Huntington, W. Va. 
Henderson’s Sweet Peas 
Our customers say, 
Are superior in germinating power; 
in healthy, vigorous growth; in 
abundance of bright bloom. 
From HENRY D. HYNDS, 
Atlanta, Ga. : 
““My Sweet Peas from Hen- 
derson's Seeds grew 7 to8 
feet, stems very long and 
flowersmuchlargerthan 
those sold by profes- 
sional florists. After 
experimenting with 
Sweet Peas fora num- 
ber of years I find 
your Seeds the best, 
your Selections the 
choicest and your 
blooms largest and 
most brilliant.”’ 
From L. W. BUR- 
DECK, Williams- 
town, Mass. : 
“Last season I 
grew your Sweet 
Peas, and must say 
that in an experi- 
ence of 40 years I 
never before had 
such strong growth 
ofvines united with 
such persistent 
blooming.” 
From A. J. Mc- 
CAUGHRIN, New- 
berry, S. C.: 
“T planted your 
Sweet Peas by your 
printed directions 
and have beat the 
town. They are 6 
to 7 feet high; have 
been in bloom two 
months. No ‘firing’ 
as yet, notwithstanding hot weather and 
no rain for weeks. Some of them had 
stems 12incheslong and flowers 14% inches 
in diameter.”’ 
From Miss KATHERINE K.CROCKETT, 
Brentwood, Tenn.: 
“« The Sweet Peas from you last season 
were the finest everseen about here; largest 
blooms, longest stems and healthiest 
plants. They far surpass the illustrations 
in your catalogue.” 
ew Bush Sweet Peas 
N 
Bush Sweet Peas grow in perfect bush form, as 
shown in the illustration. They require no trellis like 
the tall Sweet Peas; neither do they hug the ground, 
Verbena-like, like the Cupid race. An average bush grows 16 to 18 inches high, by from 12 
to 14 inches wide, and freely produces flowers of large size. The proper way to treat this 
new type will be to plant the seed in a row, to make a neat even hedge, when no supports 
whatever will be required. Grown as separate, individual plants, the slight suppert of a 
light stick should be furnished. (See cut.)
