 PEAS, all bright colors, in proper proportions, 

 mixed from 30 standard varieties selected from our 

 " Cream of the Named Sweet Peas " offered below, 

 including both American and Eckford's varieties. 

 A row of our Mixed Sweet Peas in bloom is bright 

 and varied in coloring and particularly pleasing, 

 and vastly superior to many mixtures sent out, 

 which are too often made up from the surplus of 

 varieties that have accumulated on account of their 

 undesirability. Some of the Mixed Sweet Peas, as 

 sent out, in our competitive trials, proved to be 90 

 per cent, dull blue and purples. Price, 5c. per oz. 

 Ooo to 400 seeds) ; 10c. per J4 lb. ; 35c. per lb.

 American novelties, including many unnamed new 

 hybrids of remarkable beauty, size, form and 

 sweetness, among which will be found new shades 

 ofjrqsy orange, chamois, pearly 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, and is sure to give our Sweet Pea loving 

 customers many delightful surprises as the new 

 colors and shades unfold. Price, 10c. per oz, (300 

 to 400 seeds) ; 20c. per J4 lb ; 50c. per lb.
