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 offered 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. 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 aU others, no matter under what name or at how high prices offered and are certain that a trial 

 will demonstrate the superiority of our mixtures.
