A SINGLE PLANT OF PiNK CupPiD. 
GUPID The First Dwarf Sweet Pea 
When this variety was introduced with a description of its habit of growth and its 
many good qualities, it seemed to most people that it must be that its distinct habits had so delighted its introducers that 
they had exaggerated its value, but continued trial demonstrates that it is even more valuable than was claimed, and that 
for growing in pots, for edgings and bedding the dwarf sweet peas are quite as valuable and indispensable to every garden 
as the taller sorts. The flowers of this variety are large, clear white and of fine form. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 0z. 20c;

PINK GUPID or Dwary Blanche Ferry 
A WONDERFUL NEW DWARF SWEET PEA. 
This sort originated as a direct sport from the unrivaled Blanche Ferry and has inherited all the good qualities 
which make that sort so deservedly popular. First, the seeds are dark and of much stronger vitality than those of the White 
Cupid so that every one can succeed with it; second, the plants are exceptionally vigorous and come quickly into bloom and 
. cover themselves with flowers till late in the season; third, the flowers are borne on longer stems than those of White Cupid 
and are more graceful than many of the taller sorts; and last, but by no means least, the flowers are of the same color, as 
bright and attractively beautiful as those of Blanche Ferry and somewhat larger. We have carefully studied the dwarf 
sweet peas ever since their first introduction and while at first we were doubtful of their usefulness, better acquaintance has 
convinced us of their great value, not only as a novelty and for the growing of beautiful pot plants and specimens, but in the 
garden, where they may be formed into beds which are a bright spot in even the gayest parterre, or they may be utilized 
for edgings to other beds or to fill out designs cut in the turf where the perfectly dwarf and compact plants covered with their 
bright flowers form a unique and beautiful feature of the lawn. 
We urge our customers to secure a liberal supply of the seed and 
give this new flower a careful trial. We are sureif they do so they 
will find it absolutely essential in the future. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c;

IWIIXTURES OF SWEET PEAS 
We question if there isany more satisfactory way of growing 
sweet peas than in a mixed row, but in order to get the best results 
we must have choice seed with the different varieties wisely pro- 
portioned. Our mixtures are not made up of deteriorated stocks 
and inferior varieties, but are grown from the very choicest varieties 
and stocks we have mixed in carefully balanced proportions and 
to the product of this stock seed selected with so much care, we add 
some of the weaker growing and shy seeding sorts, so that our custom- 
ers are really getting the very best seed and the entire range of 
colors in the best proportions possible. 
y 4 This mixture consists only of the choicest { 
Choice Mixed sorts, new and old, in just the right pro- 
portions of white, bright red, pink, mauve and other colors to make 
the most brilliant show possible in the garden. We have given a 
great deal of study to selecting the best sorts and in proper propor- 
tions and offer this mixture as the finest we are capable of produc- 
ing. We know it cannot be excelled at any price.
