Mixtures of Sweet Peas 



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

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

 stock harveste i 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. However, where the seed is grown from the very best stock that can be 

 produced, is mixe I in most carefully studied proportions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, 

 there is nothing superior for use in the home garden. We assure our customers the Mixtures of Sweet Peas which we 

 offer are the results of as great care in selecting as any stocks we grow and as fine 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 will demonstrate the superiority of our mixtures. 



#"**!* " Rjf* <l This mixture has been most carefully grown from our selected stock seed and it will afford a splen- 



^-.IlOlCe IVilXCQ did variety of blooms of improved forms and in the -widest possible range of desirable colors. We 



have included in it many high priced, brilliant. English and American novelties. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; V 4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 



■^ j q i »*» r We make up this mixture by combining in carefully considered proportions twenty- 



rerry S OUperO IVIIXSCI one separate named varieties, each the very choicest of its cla^s. This was done after 



first carefully considering the desirability of color, form and freedom of blooming in our many trials of nearly two 



hundred different named sorts. Nowhere else can one procure a more magnificent mixture of finely formed and 



beautifully colored, large flowering Sweet Peas. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; V 4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 65c. 



jkx» j All the Spencer varieties listed on page 87 were included in making up this magnificent mixture. 

 _ >eriC©FS IVllXeCi A splendid range of colors is thus assured in this comparatively new class of Sweet Peas of such 

 remarkably large size and wonderfully attractive form. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; V 4 Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00
