Eckford's Large Flowering Sweet Peas. 



SURPASSING NEW HYBRIDS. 



THESE deliciously perfumed new Hybrid Sweet Peas have become so 

 well known during the past two or three years that it is unneces- 

 sary to gls-e a detailed description of them, their popularity being al- 

 ready so well established. The flowers (which with proper culture are 

 double the size of ordinary varieties) are produced in the greatest pro- 

 fusion, some beautifully marked in the most gorgeous mauner, others 

 of rich, solid colors, soft and charming shades, sutlused with entirely 

 diflerent tints, etc., of unsurpassed beauty and attractiveness. The 

 varieties marked with a star (*) I offer this year for the first time, and 

 consider I have the most complete list of new Sweet Peas ever 

 offered. To secure the best results, seed should be planted 

 three or four inches deep, and as early as the ground can be 

 worked in the spring, enabling the vines to get a good 

 strong growth before the warra weather comes.
