Select Sweet Peas. 



There are now in commerce over 175 varieties of Sweet 

 Peas, with new sorts being added every year. Many of this vast 

 number aie either small-flowering, of weakly growth or lacking 

 in some characteristic which a first-class variety should have. 



Every year our list is carefully revised, with a 

 view to keeping it strictly up-lo-date; and 

 while it seems hard to dispense with some of the 

 old favorites, yet it must be done to keep up 

 with the march of progress. 



Every variety in our list is entitled to a place 

 in the front rank of Sweet Pea? ; but as most 

 amateurs only wish a limited number of sorts, 

 we have made up a collection comprising 21 ol 

 the very finest and most distinct which we offer 

 as our " Incomparable " collection and which 

 are described on page 20. 



Cultural Note, — The seed should be sown, 

 m new ground as early as it can be worked in 

 the spring to enable the vines to make a good 

 strong growth before the hot weather sets in. 

 White-seeded sorts should net be sown until 

 ^tJie ground is comparatively dry and ZL>aTin.
