OUH NEW SWEET PEAS. 



EASE of culture, their f:ureness and prolonged profusion of bloom, beauty and exquisite fragrance have made Sweet 

 Peas preeminently the People's Flower. They have always been prime favorites with us, and in Our New Guide 

 for 1892 we first predicted 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 1900 the choicest and most distinct new varieties and the best standard sorts that we cannot do without. 

 Prices are as low as can be made, furnishing liberal packets and the best seed. Full cultural directions on each 

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