There are now in commerce over 175 

 varieties of Sweet Peas, with new sorts 

 being added ever}' year. Many of this 

 vast number are either small-flowering, of weakly growth or lacking 

 in ^ome characteristic which a first-class variety should have. 



Every year our list is carefully revised, with a view to keeping it 

 strictly up-to-date ; and while it seems hard to dispense with some of 

 tlie 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 

 Peas ; but as most amateurs only wish a limited number of sorts, we have 

 made up a collection comprising 21 of the very finest and most distinct which 

 we offer as our 



INCOMPARABLE COLLECTION. 

 The varieties are as follows, and are all fully described on page 16, which 

 please see.
