 SWEET PEA, 



This remarkable nov- 

 elty has absolutely no 

 teudeocy to climb, but 

 branches from tliC root, 

 and the plant does not 

 grow over 5 inches high 

 nor cover a space of 

 more than 15 inches 

 across. The flower-stems 

 are about 4 inches long 

 and bear each 2 or 3 

 blossoms, which are of a 

 pure waxy white, of very 

 large size and great sub- 

 stance. It is well adapted 

 for borders and for bed- 

 ding, the snow white 

 blossoms contrasting 

 A POT-PLANT OF WHITE CUPID. ^^^^ elf ectively with 



the pretty dark green foliage. It is a wonderfully free bloomer, beginning to flower as early as July 

 and continuing until November. It will be found very valuable for cutting, each of the flowers on 

 •one stem coming into bloom at the same time. It makes a most attractive pot. plant, as will be seen 

 from the illustration, which shows one plant in a 12-inch pot. Plant on dry ground, as much wet 

 weather is harmful to this plant. Price per pkt. 5 cts. 



PINK CUPID, Dwarf Sweet Pea. 



This new varietv, the first colored Cupid Pea, is identical in habit of growth with 

 the White Cupid offered above. But the plant is more vigorous and hardy, and will 

 grow anywhere. The seed is black, and is of wonderfully strong germination, compared 

 with the white seeded varieties. The standard of the flower is wide and of good sub- 

 stance, usually bearing from three to four handsome rose-pink flowers on each stem. 

 Commences flowering early, and continues in bloom very late, bearing a profusion of 

 blossoms so thicklv as to completely hide the plant itself. It will be without a rival as 

 a bedding and border annual, for its color and fragrance make it a rare novelty. A large 

 bed of them looks as if the ground were literally strewn wath bright pink rose-buds. No 

 noveltv of recent introduction has such brightness, beauty, and grace combined as PINK 

 CUPID. Price per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts.
