an exquisite picture in natural colors. 



[p=,sss'^ VERY lover of Sweet Peas has no doubt heard of the world's Sweet 

 Pea Couvention and Show, held in the magnificent Crystal Palace, 

 London, the past summer. The object was not only to celebrate 

 the bicentenary of the Sweet Pea, but to select the best varieties, 

 whether old or new, from the hundreds now offered to the garden- 



ing world, discard inferior sorts of similar color and renamed 



duplicates. One of our firm went to London especially to partici- 

 pate in this convention, which, as a celebration and show, was an unqualified 

 success, every known variety of Sweet Pea being displayed in best form. We 

 there made a ver.y careful study of the merits of all, which, combined with our 

 experience of their actions when gi-own under American skies, enables us here- 

 with to offer, we think, the best set of Sweet Peas ever gotten together, com- 

 prising all colore and shades, latest introductions and older varieties of merit, 

 mthout duplicating any sorts closelj' similar. 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 or four flowers borne on a stem, and with 

 lovely new colors, that Sweet Peas are now enjoying unprecedented popularity? 

 Beautiful in their modest loveliness, perfection in form, graceful in arrangement, 

 delightful in perfume, exquisite In coloring, lavi.sh in bloom, unequaled for cut- 

 ting, bright and showy in the garden, of the easiest culture, succeeding with 

 everybody; in siort, irresistible in their wealth of charms.

EW BUSH SWEET PEflS. 



The Bush Sweet Pea grows in perfect bush form, as shown in the \\ 

 illustration. It requires no trellis like the tall Sweet Peas; neither doesit 

 hug the ground. Verbena-like, 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 supports whatever will be required. Grown as separate, individ- 

 ual plants, the slight support of a light stick should be furnished. Tlie 

 flowers, both in form and coloring, are of good size and ot perfect hooded 

 form; plant hardy and vigorous in constitution. (See cut.) 



"GrayPriar Bush" Sweet Pea. Color most beautiful watered purple on 



white ground. 10c. pkt., 20c. oz. 

 "MonarclL Bash" Sweet Pea. Deep maroon and purple. 10c. pkt, 2.')c. oz.
