BLANCHE BURPEE. 



Katherine Tracy. 



The Largest and Finest Pink Sweet Pea. 



in Form, Unsurpassed in 5ize. 



The color is soft but brilliant pink, of precisely the 

 ■same shade in wings and standard. Its form is perfect, 

 ^nd the strong growing plants are vigorous and give a 

 -wonderful profusion of flowers, which continue large 

 •and fine until the end of the season. In hardiness, pro- 

 lific flowering habit, durability and practical usefulness, 

 this is greatly superior to many large flowering sorts of 

 xecent introduction. Pkt. 4c, oz. 7c, lb. 30c, lb. 60c.

NEW WHITE CUPID— The plant forms a compact, moss- 

 Hike bunch about nine inches high and about eighteen 

 dnches across, producing an abundance of clear, white 

 flowers of fine form and substance. It is well suited for 

 growing in pots or as a border plant. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. 



NEW PINK CUPID — Identical to the above in every 

 -way except color which is a beautiful pink. Very free 

 flowering. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c. 



Extra Early Blanche Ferry. 



In Full Bloom Two Weeks Before Any Other Sort, 

 And of Very Dwarf Habit 



The flowers have the bright contrast of color which has made 

 ■ilhe Blanche Ferry so popular, the wings being nearly white, whUe 

 •the standard is deep rose pink, becoming more intense near the 

 ■base. The plants are exceedingly hardy, vigorous and floriferous, 

 .and at the same time very dwarf, making it particularly desirable 

 -for greenhouse culture. Inside it occupies less space, and gives 

 flowers sooner than any other sweet pea, and it does equally well 

 out of doors, needing less trellising than other kinds: in fact it 

 .can be grown outside with great satisfaction without anv support.

..SWEET PEAS.. 



THE SWEET PEA has become one of the most popular of culti- 

 vated flowers, and admired not only in the largest and best "places'' 

 but in the humblest garden. Not only do they readily adapt them- 

 selves to circumstances, giving lots of bloom, no matter how un- 

 favorablethe conditions, but repay better care and culture with a 

 proportionate abundance of bloom. Everyone who cultivates 

 flowers should plant Sweet Peas, for the list of distinct and beau- 

 tiful varieties is now so large that no one will tire of them. 



1+ tfck Sweet Peas do best in a moderately rich soil,which 

 ^UlXUrc* has been made so by reputed manurings rather 

 than by a single heavy application. The use of fresh manure or 

 even a large quantity of well rotten manure tends to produce coarse 

 vines and smaller, weaker colored flowers. Work the soil thor- 

 oughly as early in the spring as it can be done without making it 

 sticky and hard : then make a trench about six inches deep and 

 about eight inches wide at the bottom, the sides sloping to the sur- 

 face, and sow the seed in double rows six inches apart, dropping in 

 each row from six to twenty-four seeds to the foot, according as 

 size or quantity of bloom is 'most desirable : thin sowings will give 

 the largest flowers, and thick sowings the most of them. Cover 

 with one or two inches of soU and see that the ends of the partirlly 

 filled trenches are open, so that no water can stand in them. After the 

 plants are about five incheshigh, fiU up the trench; this is a very 

 essential thing to do for this method secures deep rooting, 

 essential to long continued blooming, without danger of losing the 

 seed from too deep planting. As fast as the flowers come into full 

 bloom they should be cut, for if the pods are allowed to form the 

 plants wiU soon stop flowering.
