MIXED SWEET PEAS. 



With the exception of the American Hybrids all of the mixtures offered below 

 have been made up by ourselves out of the finest named varieties, insuring a 

 satisfactory result in color, and must not be confounded with cheap grades 

 which are harvested in mixture and always contain a large proportion of dull 

 and undesirable colors. It is undeniable that when cut Sweet Peas look much 

 better when the various colors are kept separate ; we therefore also offer mix- 

 tures made up of such shades as harmonize together.

Sweet Peas, 



We were delighted with the fine 

 showing made by the various varie- 

 ties of this class the past summer. 

 Sown as a border they form a line 

 of emerald-green foliage a little 

 over a foot wide and from 5 to 6 

 inches high, and from June until 

 late summer are literally a sheet of 

 bloom, from the fact that they cover 

 the ground so closely they are not 

 so apt to suffer from drouth as the 

 tall sorts. Excellent also for pot 

 culture. (See cut.)
