NEW ORCHID AND GL0XINIA-FI.01JVERED SWEET PEAS. 



Last season we offered but two of this class, and they gave such splendid results that we are pleased to be able to offer a fuller 

 colleciion this year. They are a distinct "break" in Sweet Peas, diflfering from the standard sorts by the extraordinary size of 

 their flowers, usually measuring 2 inches across, and by the standards being crinkled and wavy, while the wings are large and 

 spreading. Another splendid feature is that a very large percentage bear four blooms to the stem, which are long and strong. 

 To sum up, they possess every characteristic that can be desired in Sweet Peas, and will undoubtedly supercede standard sorts of 

 same color as soon as they become more plentiful. 



4086 Countess Spencer. An immense flower ol a very 

 lovely clear pink, shading darker at the edges, standards 

 large and wavy. This variety " sports " somewhat, and 

 is the parent of most of the orchid-flowered tvpe. 15 cts.

 charming shade of pale rosy:pink ; extra long stems and 

 very valuable for cutting ; character perfectly fixed. 15 

 cts. per pkt.; 75 cts. per oz.; $2.00 per J- lb.

 wavy standards; in color a brilliant orange-rose, quite 

 eclipsing all others of this shade. 25 cts. per pkt. 



4126 Helen Pierce. This is the new gloxinia-flowered Sweet 

 Pea. In color it is a combination of very bright blue and 

 white, not striped, but marbled blue on a white ground,

 tled Gloxinia. The flowers are large, of perfect shell- 

 shape, and makes a beautiful decoration, especially when
