Our New Sweet Peas. 



UR Novelties and Special Selections of all the Newest and Choicest Sweet Peas the world over have attracted widespread 

 attention, flower people declaring that, for exquisite cherry fragrance, profusion of flowers and duration after cutting 

 they could not be surpassed. Sweet Peas are first favorites with us, and we are ever striving for improvement. We 

 believe, as time goes on, they will be among the most generally grown and liked of all Summer flowers. 

 To flower people who are unacquainted with Sweet Peas, we recommend them as simply indispensable 



in the Summer flower garden. A Sweet Pea secret came 



out recently : The higher you can get the vines to grow, the 



more bloom there will be. Sweet Peas are sure to bloom, 



sure to bloom profusely until checked by frost, and sure to 



satisfy and delight all ; they can be planted for hedges, for 



clumps, to run on fences, or trained up strings — in fact, they 



are most accommodating and easy to grow. We trust this 



page will be found one of the most interesting in our New 



GUIDE, and that our efforts will still further 



increase the popularity of these exquisite and 



charming Summer flowers.
