RUBY MIXTURE 



This Grand Sweet Pea Mixture 

 has no equal for Gorgeousness, 

 Delicacy and Rare Beauty. 



I challenge any Seed Grower in the 

 world to place on the market a Sweet Pea 

 Mixture that will equal my Peoigreed 

 Ruby Mixture. The results I have ob- 

 tained from it have been astounding. 

 Such wealth of rich color, such ecstatic 

 fragrance, such a profusion of flowers was 

 never seen on the Rockford Seed Farms as 

 since I perfected Ruby Mixture. I have 

 grown a good supply of this seed the past 

 season and expect to have enough to 

 meet all demands. 



However, I cannot sell more than 

 i lb. to any one person. 



This is the Rare Low Price: Liberal Pkt. ioc: oz. 20c: }|lb 50c 



I take an especial pride in 

 my Sweet Pea Stock. If 

 there is anything first-class 

 in Sweet Pea seed not listed 

 S here that you may want I 

 can supply it at the right 

 price.
