Price, per oz , 10c; per lb., 60c. 



GLORIOUSLY beautiful acquisition of American 

 origin. Absolutely pure white, as clear 

 baster and as lustrous as satin. The flowers of 

 arkable Substance, are borne on long stiff 

 iicles. are extra large, with broad, round stan- 

 that stand up boldly w thout reflex, curl or notch. 

 e plants are robust, compart and branch- 

 roducing such a prodigal abundance of flowers that 

 ants appear as if covered with snow. From on,? 

 specially cultivated, we have cut in ore season thc 

 lgly incredible nui ber of 1,035 sprays of b oom 

 In earlineSS, it outrivals all com- 

 petitors by nearly two weeks, and con- 

 tinues a veritable ' cut-and-come-agam " 

 to the end of autumn. The fragrance is 

 mojt delicious and distinct. 



For forcing under glass it is 



particularly adapted. 



Our new White Sweet Pea, 

 "Emily Henderson," intro- 

 duced by us two years ago, has 

 now been thoroughly dissemi- 

 nated in both America and 

 Europe, and we congratulate 

 ourselves that it has given un- 

 bounded satisfaction, and has 

 received more flattering testi- 

 monials and enthusiastic praise than 

 any flower seed novelty introduced for 

 years, not only from private growers 

 and professional gardeners but from 

 the horticultural press of the world. 



Received an Award of Merit from tbe 

 Boyal Horticultural Society of England 

 June 26, 1894. 



Words of praise: Our limited space only 

 permits us to print the following, though we have 

 hundreds of testimonials of like purport : 



Mr. W. C. Eoan, Sec'y Chicago Horticultural 

 Society , 'writes : 



I desire to state that the seeds of the Emily 



Henderson Sit eet Pia germinatea Jreety and became 



robust plants. It was the first of many varieties to bloom, 



and was a most pro/use bloomer during tht hot weather, and, late 



in the Jail, gave a great quantity of flowers, while the others were only 



furnishing scattering blossoms. It produced long stems, and the flatters lasted 



better when cut — not Jading away — than any other variety; in J 'act , with me it' 



was the best Sweet Pea for garden culture that I have yet grown.
