SWBBT SULTHNS. 



THE old Sweet Sultan has long been a favorite garden annual of the easiest culture. These new 

 mammoth-flowering varieties are grand improvements, producing blossoms from 2^2 to 4 

 inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and are most deliriously fragrant — they are simply invaluable 

 for cutting for vases, and for wearing as corsage flowers they are marvellously effective. A number 

 of people stepped into our store the past summer with bunches of either the yellow or white 

 varieties that they had purchased from a nearby Italian flower peddler, wanting to get the seed or 

 learn the name of "these beautiful flowers." Height, 2 feet. (See cut.)
