New White Sweet Pea 
BLANCHE BURPEE. 
This variety although bearing an American name is 
Eckford’s latest production in white sweet peas and by far 
the finest variety yet introduced. The flowers are pure 
white, of exquisite form and immense size, having a bold, 
rigid, upright, shell-shaped standard of great substance; 
is a wonderfully profuse bloomer and absolutely free from 
the Ob seOnable notch so conspicuous in the Queen of 
England and Emily Henderson. It usually bears three 
flowers on a stem, white séeded. This variety has received 
certificates of merit where exhibited. We offer this variety 
in Eckford’s original packages. Price per packet, 25 cts. 
New White Sweet Pea 
“EMILY HENDERSON.” 
A beautiful acquisition of American origin. Absolutely 
ure white, as clear as alabaster and as lustrous as satin. 
he flowers are extra large of remarkable substance and 
perfect form, broad, round standards without the slightest ~ 
tendency to curl. The stems are stiff and long, supporting 
the blossoms so that they stand out boldly giving them an 
added value for cutting. For earliness it outrivals all its 
competitors, flowering nearly two weeks earlier than any 
of the other varieties and continues to bloom to the end of 
Autumn. It takes the lead for forcing under glass on ac- 
immense size of its long stemmed flowers. Price per 
packet, 10 cents ; 0z., 25; 14 1b., 75 cents. 
Sweet Pea 
“BRONZE KING.” 
This new Sweet Pea distinguishes itself essentially 
from the well known variety Orange Prince by its per- 
fectly distinct coppery bronze. The wings are pure white. 
Price per packet, 10 cents.
