iVll'V'f'lll'^Q f\T ^lAT'ia^l' Pao e Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting Sweet Peas in 

 ****■'*•''*** ^^ '-'* K->VVCd. 1 ca.9 mixture than from growing named sorts, but to be successful 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 handle 1 so carelessly that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. The use of such seeds will not 

 give satisfactory results. However, where the seed is grown from the very best stock that can be produced, is mixed in 

 most carefully .studied proportions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, there is nothing 

 superior for use in the home garden. 



C'\yf\\f*o, IV/I* A ^^'^ assure oiu' customers the Mixed Sweet Pea Seed which w^e offer is the result of as great care in 

 V^nOlCe IVlIXea breeding and selecting as any stock we grow and as fine flowers are obtained from it as from any 

 seed that can be bought. We invite comparison with any and air others, no matter under what name or at how high a price 

 offered and are certain that a trial will demonstrate the superiority of our mixture. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; ^Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.
