SWEET PEA MIXTURES 



BEST GRANDIFLORA VARIETIES, 

 MIXED 



This is our choicest mixture of Sweet 

 Peas and cannot be surpassed in vari- 

 ety or richness of color or size and 

 substance of bloom. We make it our- 

 selves and include in it not only the 10 

 varieties described above — a proved list 

 of standard sorts, the very best in cul- 

 tivation today — but a number of other 

 named varieties and also a large per- 

 centage of the popular new wavy Spen- 

 cer and Unwin types, thus making it 

 thoroughly up to date. Packet of 70 

 seeds, 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 45c. 



GIANT CALIFORNIA SWEET PEAS, 

 MIXED 



A very choice mixture of only large- 

 fiowering types containing a large pro- 

 portion of light colors with enough 

 dark for a contrast. This includes also 

 what I have left over from my choice 

 named varieties. Every one knows 

 that Sweet Pea seed retains its vitality 

 for several years, so this is practically 

 as good as if all were fresh seed. A 

 packet, 100 seeds, 5e; oz., 10c; % lb., 

 30e; lb., $1.00.

"HIT OR MISS" FLOWER GARDEN 



This is made up of what I have left 

 over of last year's seeds that upon test- 

 ing were found to germinate, together 

 with a large quantity of fresh seed. A 

 customer says: " 'The Hit or Miss' 

 package is not correctly named, for I 

 am sure it never misses something 

 worth while. It is real fun watching 

 to see what will come, and I often get 

 pleasant surprises." Sift out the fine 

 seed so that it may be planted under 

 different conditions from the coarser 

 seed. Large packet, 4c; oz., 10c. 



PEONY 



It is interestinsr to grow Peonies from 

 seed, and one often gets new and valu- 

 able varieties. They do not. bloom un- 

 til the second or third year, but once 

 established they pay for the long wait- 

 ing. Sow seed in the fall. Packet, 20 

 seeds, 10c; li oz., 20c. 



OENOTHERA, Evening Primrose 



Our patch of Oenothera was as showy 

 a thing as we had in our garden, the 

 large saucer-shaped flowers opening 

 towards evening, emitting a delightful 

 perfume. This is a mixture of several 

 annual sorts, including the .large yel- 

 low, or true evening primrose. 1 to 2 

 feet. Packet, 250 seeds, 5o.
