SWEET PEAS-—CcOoNTINUED 
RED OR ROSE STANDARDS, WITH LIGHTER WINGS 
In Full Bloom Two Weeks Before Other 
Extra Early Blanche Ferry Sorts, of Dwarf abit. and Flowers Pro- 
fusely the Whole Season. Careful comparison demonstrates that none of the newer sorts are 
earlier or in any way superior to this, the best Extra Early Sweet Pea, not only producing flow- 
ers very early but in great profusion throughout the season. The flowers have the bright con- 
trast of color. which has made the Blanche Ferry so popular, the wings being nearly white 
while the standard is deep rose pink, becoming more intense near the base. The plants are 
exceedingly hardy, vigorous and floriferous and at the same time very dwarf, making it par- 
f ticularly desirable for green house culture. Inside it occupies less space and gives flowers 
sooner and in greater abundance than any other Sweet Pea, and it does equally well out of & 
S doors, needing less trellising than other kinds; in fact, it can be grown outside with great 
satisfaction without any support whatever. It has absolutely no rival for forcing.
