Our New Sweet Peas. 



OUR 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 Jiked 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 popu- 

 larity of these exquisite and charming Summer 

 flowers.
