SELECT SWEET PEAS. 



Recent improvements have so developed this popular flower that the new varu 

 are equaled in delicacy and purity of color only by the aristocratic Orchid. The lii 

 varieties is almost innumerable, and every year adds more; hence I offer here a 

 select assortment, only embracing the finest and most distinct varieties— all of 

 which are of exquisite colors, perfect in form, delightful in fragrance, profuse in 

 bloom (bearing three or four flowers on a stem, 

 gracefully arrjinged); and such as will prove a 

 fountain of delight lo all who plant them. The 

 Sweet Pea is truly the people's flower— the annual 

 for the '• million "; so easily grown, so excessively 

 floriferous, so sweet and beautiful. Sow them 

 abundantly, sow them everywhere; they are un- 

 equaled for cutting, and the more tliey are cut the 

 longer and more freely will they flower. 



BURPEE'S BUSH 



new and distinct riice. In habit of growth it is totally different from 

 either the tall Sweet Peas or the very dwarf Cupid type. It forms a 

 perfect bush of from 1(5 to 18 inches high by 12 to 14 inches wide, and 

 branches so vigorously that it often exceeds this diameter. It is of 

 upright growth'and the flowers are all borne on the top of the plant, 

 very profusely. The flowers are beautiful and graceful, of good size 

 and perfectly hooded form, watered purple markings on a white ground, 

 much resembling Cray Friar. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts. for $1.00. Half- 

 pkt. (20 seeds each), 15c; 2 for 25c. 



DWARF or CUPID VARIETIES. 



COUNTESS OF RADNOR CUPID (yeiv). Decidedly the best of 

 its color among the Cupids and a splendid acquisition. True. to its 

 type, the plants hug the ground like Verbenas, growing only to 6 or 8 

 inches high. They spread well out, however, and are covered with 

 beautiful flowers of immense size, three and four on a single stem, 

 with broad, widely spread wings of a delicate lavender-color. Pkt., 

 25c. Half-pkt., 15c. 



FIREFLY CUPID (Neiv). The beauty and brilliancy of this new 

 dwarf variety is really indescribable. The splendid large flowers are 

 produced in wonderful profusion, borne in clusters of three, producing 

 a most dazzling effect. In color it is of a deep, glowing scarlet with 

 wings of rich rose. The plant in habit is of the true Cupid type, 

 dense and spreading, and very effective either for bedding or pot cul- 

 ture. Pkt., 25c; half-pkt., 15c. 



BOREATTON CUPID (Xew). Very beautiful in its rich 

 dark coloring and fine form of bloom. Flowers of good size, 

 with rich wine-brown standard heavily veined a still darker 

 shade, and deep mauve wings underlaid and suffused with rosy- 

 purple. Like the other Cupid varieties it is very dwarf and 

 spreading and excessively free-flowering. Pkt., 25c; half-pkt., 

 150. 



PINK CUPID. Wonderfully free-flowering, bearing from 

 a to 4 blossoms on a stem, during a long season, flowering early 

 and continuing until very late. Flowers very large, of shell- 

 like appearance, with standards of bright rose-pink and pure 

 white or very light pink wings, presenting a most charming 

 effect. They are identical with those of the tall-growing 

 Blanche Ferry and quite as large. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 

 lb., 40c; lb. ,$1.25. 



BEAUTY CUPID (N^ew). Handsome, large flowers, fully 

 equal in size, form, and substance to the best of the new tall 

 Sweet Peas, borne most profusely over the entire plant, in 

 clusters of three at the top of strong stems. The standards are 

 of a delicate rose-color shading to nearly white at the edges 

 and faintly striped with carmine at the base; tlie wings are 

 rosy carmine, deepening at the edges. Of uncommon beauty 

 and bears its flowers unceasingly throughout the season. Pkt., 

 "5c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 60c. 



ALICE ECKFORD CUPID {New). Very beautiful by rea- 

 son of the delicate and harmonious shadings of softly blended 

 tints. The standards are of a rich creamy-white, suffused with 

 delicate flesh-pink; the wings silvery-white, with faint pink 

 flush in the center. The blooms are very numerous, and borne 

 iu clusters of three. A charming variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 



PRIMROSE CUPID (JVeiv). Identical with the popular 

 White Cupid, except in color, which is of a rich creamy tint, 

 resembling that of the tall Primrose. It possesses the dis- 

 tinct bright emerald-green foliage which is peculiar to all the 

 Cupid race, and is very profuse in bloom. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 



WHITE CUPID, The now well-known type of this class, 

 growing to only six inches high, covered with beautiful pure- 

 white flowers of full size and delicious fragrance. Very spread- 

 ing in habit, and a delightful companion for Pink Cupid. Pkt., 

 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; lb., 80c.
