New Bush Sweet Pea. 



THE FIRST OF AN ENTIRELY 

 NEW AND DISTINCT RACE. 



The Bush Sweet Pea grows in perfect 

 bush form, as shown in the illustration 

 It requires no trellis like the tall Sweet 

 Peas; neither does It hug the ground. 

 Verbena-llke, as does the Cupid race 

 An average bush grows 16 to 18 

 inches high, by from 12 to 14 inches 

 wide. All the flowers are borne on 

 top of the plant, and 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 sup- 

 ports whatever will be required. 

 Grown as separate, individual 

 plants, the slight support of a 

 light stick should be furnished. 

 The flowers, both in form and 

 coloring, are of good size and 

 perfect hooded form ; color most 

 beautiful watered purple on white 

 ground; plant hardy and vigor- 

 ous In constitution. {See cut.)
