SELECT SWEET PEAS. 



Never were the«:e charming flowers so popular a^ now, and never were they so fine. 

 Recent improvements have so developed this popular flower that the new varieties are 

 equalled in delicacy and purity of color only by the Orchid, and their colors are even much 

 more brilliant and beautiful than in that aristocratic flower. The list of varieties is almost 

 innumerable, and every year adds more; hence I offer here a very select assortment, only 

 embracing the finest and most distinct varieties— all of which are of the most exquisite colors, perfect in form, 

 delightful in fragrance, profuse in bloom, bearing three or four flowers on a stem, gracefully arranged; and such 

 as will prove a fountain of delight to all who plant them. The Sweet Pea is truly the people's flower — the an- 

 nual for the "million;" so easily grown, so excessively floriferous, so sweet and beautiful. Sow them abun- 

 dantly, sow them everywhere; they are unequalled for cutting, and the more they are cut the longer and more 

 freely will they flower. Price of all, 5c. per pKt; 3 pkts. for 10c; unless otherwise noted.
