SWEET PEAS 



SPECIAL NOTICE » 



of our New Departure in Offering 



Only the Cream 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 experts can scarcely 

 distinguish them apart. So we have culled.out inferior 

 older varieties that have been improved upon, the newer 

 sorts that have reverted 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 looking 

 for, refer to the "Aid in Selecting any Desired 

 Color," which tells what better variety of same 

 color to select in place, 



" Your list of Sweet Peas is, in our judgment, a very 

 satisfactory and comprehensive collection and we are 

 naturally pleased to see so prominent a firm as your 

 good selves take the lead in the important matter of 

 list-pruning, for the retention of the best varieties 

 only.' — SUNSET SEED AND PLANT CO, San 

 Francisco, Cal.
