Mixtures of Sweet Peas 



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

 cessful it is necessary that the seed be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is ofl'ered as mixed seed is stock harvested 

 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 mixed in most care- 

 fully studied proportions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, there is nothing superior for use in the 

 horne 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 wiU demonstrate 

 the superiority of our mixtures. 



y-ii • »». J This mixture has been most carefully grown from our selected stock seed and it wiU afford a splendid 

 Choice IVllXed variety of blooms of improved forms and in the widest possible range of desirable colors. Many of the 

 most pleasing and brilliant colors are included. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25

rerry S OUperb iVllXed separate named varieties, each the very choicest of its class. This was done after first care-

 named sorts. Nowhere else can one procure a more magnificent mixture of finely formed and beautifully colored, large 

 flowering Sweet Peas. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
