"Twelve Best" Orchid=f lowered 



SWEET PEAS. 



We offer on page 121 twenty beautiful and desirable varieties of 

 this, the finest type of Sweet Peas; but as many planters do not 

 care for so many sorts, we have selected what we consider the 

 twelve best and most distinct kinds, which we offtr below. 



They are a great improvement on the standard sorts, having 

 large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, measuring two 

 inches and over across, with wavy standards and wide-spreading 

 wings, a very large percentage bearing four of these immense 

 blossoms to the stem, which is long and strong, making them of 

 exceptional value for cutting, and are just as easy to grow as the 

 standard varieties.
