PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE— FLOWER SEEDS. 



THE "DUPLEX" SWEET PEAS. 



This new " Duplex '* type, evolved from the modern race of Spencer Sweet 

 Peas, produces flowers that under favorable conditions have double or triple 

 standards. The coloring is thereby greatly intensified and the flowers are par- 

 ticularly effective and filling in bouquets, vases, etc. Under uncongenial 

 conditions they produce but few if any doubled flowers but a compensating 

 wealth of typical single blossoms may be enjoyed. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S. 



The number oj seeds in a packet will vary according to the scarcity of the P'kt. 

 variety — from 6 to 25 seeds, but sufficient for trial.
