WB bBAD THE WORbD IN SWBBT PEAS. 



Not only do we sell greater quantities than any other concern, but our stocks are absolutely unsur=- 

 passed in selection, purity or vitality. 



Our prices are reasonable, being lower than those of many smaller firms, but were we to charge 

 twice as much the quality of the stocks could not be improved.

Culture— Early in spring make a trench about six inches deep, in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can 

 stand in it, and plant the seed in the bottom, taking care not to cover it more than two inches. When the plants are about 

 five inches high, fill up the trench, and furnish some support for the vines to run upon. The flowers should be picked 

 before they form pods, or the plants will soon stop flowering. 



. . . WHITE . . . 



BLANCHE BURPEE. A splendid pure white variety. While 

 not so profuse a bloomer or as hardy a plant as the Emily 

 Henderson, the individual flowei'S are so fine as to make it a 

 most desirable sort. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; % Lb. 30c; Lb. 60c. 



EMILY HENDERSON. A bolci, well formed, clear white 

 flower. Wings broad and well expanded. An early and won- 

 derfully free and persistent bloomer. Pkt. 5c; Oz. lOc;

INVINCIBLE WHITE. A fine strain of pure white. Pkt. 5c: 

 Oz. 10c; H Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c. 



THE BRIDE. The flowers are practically the same as the 

 Blanche Burpee but the stems are more slender and the 

 flowers more gracefully poised so that they form a more 

 beautiful bunch. Pkt." 5c; Oz. lOc; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



LIGHT YELLOW 



LEMON QUEEN. Buds and back of standard tinted yellow. 

 When fully expanded the flower is a delicate pink, the

 bright orange of a very brilliant and striking shade; attrac- 

 tive even in the largest collection. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c:

 white in front, and pronounced primrose-yeUow on the

 attractive. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



LIGHT SHADES OF RINK

 of precisely the same shade in wings and standard. Its 

 form is perfect and the strong-growing plants are vigor- 

 ous, and give a wonderful profusion of flowers which con- 

 tinue large and fine until the end of the season. In hardi- 

 ness, prolific flowering habit, durability and practical 

 usefulness this is greatly superior to most sorts of recent 

 introduction. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c.
