stokes' Elite Mixed Sweet Peas 



EARLY SWEET PEAS FOR FORCING 



The great merit of this class is earUness, they commence to flower within 45 

 to 60 days from seed sowing, or about two weeks sooner than tall Sweet Peas. 

 The plants are of dwarf, bushy growth, 18 to 24 inches high, producing pro- 

 fusely flowers of good size but having shorter stems than tall varieties. 



EARLIEST WHITE. The Earliest White Sweet Pea blooms about a week 

 and a half earlier than Mont Blanc. It is a black-seeded variety. The 

 plants grow from 16 to 20 inches high, and are continually covered with 

 flowers, borne upon strong stems 6 to 8 inches long. If planted under glass 

 they begin to bloom when 12 inches high. Pkt. 5cts., oz. 15 cts., Klb. 50 

 cts., lb. $1.50. 



EARLIEST OF ALL. A new and entirely distinct strain developed from 

 the Extra-Early Blanche Ferry, growing only 18 to 24 inches in height 

 when in full bloom. It flowers fully ten days in advance of Extra-Early 

 Blanche Ferry, bearing a rich profusion of the beautifully tinted flowers. 

 Standard bright rosy pink ; wings creamy white, suffused with pale rose. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 5ilb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



MONT BLANC. In this new variety we have a splendid companion variety
