Ruby Mixture. \ 



I challenge any Seed Grower in the world to place on the market a Sweet Pea Mixture that will equal 

 ' q gorg-^ousness. delicacv and rare beauty my Pedigreed Ruby Mixture. The results I have obtaiued 

 rom this mixture have been simply astounding. Such a wealth of color, such ecstatic fragrance, such 



a profusion of flowers was never seen on the Rockford Seed Farms until now. I have a good supply of this seed, but it will not last 

 long, and I cannot sell more than uibs. to each person As long as this seed lasts — notwithstanding its newness- 1 will sell it for the 

 following low prices: Liberal Pkt. 10c: oz. 20c: H lb- 50c.

Sweet Peas in Mixtures. 



One of the most satisfactory ways of growing Sweet Peas is in a mixed row. The mix- 

 ture- we offer are not made up of inferior or cheap stocks, but are of the very best qualities, 

 and are well proportioned so as to give a pleasing variety of bloom. 



NEW DOUBLE SWEET PEHS. 



A pleasing development of this popular sort. It has been a difficult task by hybridization 

 and selection to change the habit of the Sweet Pea to the double form, and much remains to 

 tit>ed'n-; but each year finds us nearer. The seed I offer is saved from the best plants; 

 fulh one-third will produce double flowers. Pkt. 4c; oz. 10c; H lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.
