for 1895. 



6817 Blanclie Burpee. This is Mr. Eckford's 

 latest introduction, a new giant wliite-flowered 

 variety, which is described by the introducer as 

 follows : " A white seeded, pure white, of exqui- 

 site form and immense size, having a bold, rigid, 

 upright, shell-shaped standard, of great substance, 

 a wonderfully profuse bloomer and absolutely 

 free from the objectionable notch so conspicuous 

 in other white varieties." It usually bears three 

 flowers on a stem. A very chaste variety, and by 

 far the finest Sweet Pea ever introduced.

 beautiful annuals that has been introduced into cultivation for 

 some years past. It is remarkable for its free-flowering character, 

 long duration in bloom and astonishing diversity in the color of 

 its flowers.^ If raised under glass in March and transferred to 

 the open ground in May, the plants begin to show their beauty 

 in June and continue in flower till the end of September. Per 

 pkt., 35 cts.

 green leaves and some of coppery bronze changing to dark 

 green, with reddish ribs. The seeds are quite distinct in color 

 and most beautifully marked. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; per oz., 50 cts.
