 such ecstatic fragrance, such a profusion of flowers was never 



DOUBLE SWEET PEAS

 ment of this popular sort. 

 It has been a difficult task 

 by hybridization and selec- 

 tion to change the habit of

 to be done; but each year 

 finds us nearer. The seed 

 I ofler is saved from the 

 best plants: fully one-third 

 will produce double 

 flowers. Pkt. 4c.;
