HERE'S A NOVELTY 



Buckbee's New Dwarf Yellow Sweet Pea, 

 A Wonderful Everblooming Variety,, 



This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, 

 interesting and easily grown plants in existence; 

 low growing, profusely branching plant, every 

 branch ending in racemes 6 to 10 inches long, of 

 beautiful, large Sweet Pea-like flowers. These 

 flowers are of a thick substance, fragrant and of 

 a golden yellow color (except the keel in the cen- 

 ter, which looks like brown velvet) and are fol- 

 lowed by clusters of short, smooth pods. I can 

 recommend this most magnificent variety, know- 

 ing that it will give purchasers the greatest satis- 

 faction. It blooms the first year from seed, and 

 in the garden may be treated as an annual. This 

 is certainly one of the finest novelties ever intro- 

 duced. A plant in bloom reminds one of a 

 shower of gold. Pkt. 8c
