Sweet Peas 



-Summer Flowering 



No other garden flower is more liked than the Sweet Pea. They are surely universal favorites. 

 From a long list of named varieties, we have selected only those with the largest and best formed 

 flowers, longest and strongest stems, most desirable blooming and growing habits, as well as a 

 complete range of colors. 



Sweet Peas do best in cool weather, so that the seed should be sown as early in the spring as the 

 ground can be worked. Choose an open, sunny location; deep, rich, well-drained soil. 



New Giant Ruffled Sweet Peas 



Giant in size and appear even larger than they are because of the unusual duplexness, as well as 

 the extra ruffling and frilling of the petals. The Giant Ruffled are the newest and the most beauti- 

 ful of all Sweet Peas. They have great daintiness and charm, immense size, wonderful fragraiice 

 and are produced mostly in fours on long, sturdy stems. As easily grown as the more familiar 

 varieties offered below. 



1846 Fluffy Ruffles Improved The daintiest 

 of flowers, the loveliest of colors — soft creamy 

 pink of delicate purity; wonderfully ruffled. 



1805 Lady Ruffles Improved Graceful flowers 

 of a warm pink color on a white ground — ap- 

 pealing and refined. Gold Medal Winner.
