Our New Sweet Peas. 



I^ASE of culture, their sureness and prolonged profusion of bloom, beauty and exquisite fragrance have made Sweet Peas 



1^ preeminently the People s Flower. They have alwavs been prime favorites with us, and in our NEW GUIDE for 1892 



we first prer^icted that it was our belief that Sweet Peas were destined to become the popular Summer flower. This 



prediction has been fulfilled, and their popularity extends from one end of the country to the other. We offer for iggy the 



choicest and most distinct new varieties and the few standard sorts 

 that we cannot do without. Prices are as low as can be made, 

 furnishmg liberal packets and the best seed. Full cultural direc- 

 tions on each packet. Don't fail to plant a few Sweet Peas this year.
