SWEE1 PEAS HENDE RS ON'S CREAM O F THE S W E El PEAS 



FIFTY GIANT NAMED VARIETIES.— .4/7 small flowering, and inferior sorts ha'be been discarded. 



Q PEC1AL NOTICE 



of our New Departure in Offering 



ONLY THE CREAH 



OF THE 



SWEET PEAS. 



There are too many so-called varieties of Sweet 

 Peas— nearly two hundred — offered to the public. 

 Many of them are alike, or so nearly so that ex- 

 perts can scarcely distinguish them apart. So we 

 have culled out inferior older varieties that have 

 been improved upon. thenewer sorts that have re- 

 verted back or are not improvements, and the sorts 

 that have been offered under different names by 

 different firms which we have proved at our trial 

 grounds to be the same thing. 



If we do not offer the variety you are look* 

 ing for on the next page, refer to this discarded 

 list, which tells what better variety of same 

 color to select in place.
