Buckbee's 

 Famous 

 Pedigreed 

 Sweet Peas 



Wondrously Beautiful 

 Ecstatically Fragrant 

 Prodigally Productive 



Unrivalled Mixtures 

 Fine Novelties 

 New Named Varieties 



Quite a number of Svreet Pea enthusiasts hare sown these 

 in the Fall in some of the Northern States with varied success, 

 but it is quite a custom in the South to plant Sweet Peas in 

 October, giving the plants slight protection during Winter. I 

 take an especial pride in my Sweet Pea Stock and the results 

 I have obtained have been astounding. I lead the world in 

 Sweet Peas, and were you to pay three times what we ask the 

 quality could not be impi-oved. 



Ruby Mixture. I challenge any seed-grower in the world to 

 place on the market a Sweet Pea Mixture that will equal 

 my pedigreed Ruby Mixture.
