NEW SWEET PEAS. 



Every flower lover wants Sweet Peas. We offer the very finest varieties, grown and 

 selected with the greatest care. More were planted last year than ever before, and this year 

 the demand is larger still. People are surprised to find they grow so easily and bloom so pro- 

 fusely : they do well in all usual places, and require very little care. The flowers last a long 

 time after cutting, and are so sweet that a few small sprays will perfume a whole room. The 

 culture is very simple : Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient place 

 you happen to have very early in the spring — ^just as early as possible, February, 

 March, April, or May, according to season and locality ; keep the ground loose and 

 mellow ; give the young plants good support to climb on— Wire Netting, Twine, or Brush. 

 Keep the flowers picked off clean every day i^this is very important I, and they will 

 bloom abirndautly for many weeks. They are the most lovely and charming flowers of their 

 season, and sure to give pleasure to all who plant them.

NEW SWEET PEA, AMERICAN BELLE. 



The wonderful beauty of this splendid new varieryhas attracted marked attention. The 

 form and color of the flowers are quite remarkable, the standard or upright petal being clear, 

 bright rose, while the broad, widely extended wings are shining crystal-white, dotted all over 

 with lovely, purple-crimson spots. The flowers are very large, delightfully fragrant, and of 

 such excellent substance that they last a long time after cutting. It is a very early bloomer, 

 and continues bearing abundantly for a long time. A beautiful novelty. Price per pkt. 10 cts. 



A Sweet Pea Hedge or Screen is always pretty and attractive. A wire or picket 

 fence makes a nice support. An ounce of seed is sufficient for a row ten feet long. Plant as 



early as possible.
