Mixtures of Sweet Peas 



Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting Sweet Peas in mixture than from growing named sorts, but to be suc- 

 cessful it is necessary that the seed be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is offered as mixed seed is stock harvested 

 from plants that have come up as volunteers on ground where Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of seed which has 

 been grown, saved or handled so carelessly that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. The use of such seeds will not give 

 satisfactory results. Howevei-, where the seed is grown from the verj' best stock that can be produced, is mixed in most care- 

 fully studied proportions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding soi-ts are added, there is notliing superior for use in the 

 horne garden. 



AVe assure our customers the Mixtures of Sweet Peas wliich we offer are the results of as great care in selecting as any 

 stocks we grow and as flne flowers are obtained from them as from any seed that can be bought. We invite comparison with 

 any and all others, no matter under what name or at how high prices offered and are certain that a trial wiU demonstrate 

 tlie superiority of our mixtures.
