Mixtures of Sweet Peas 



Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting Sweet Peas in mixture than from growing named sorts, but to 

 be successful it is necessarv 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 liandled so carelesslv that it cannot be sold as any distmct 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 pronortions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, 

 there is nothing superior for use in the home garden. We assure our customers the 31ixtures of Sweet Peas which we 

 offer are the results of as srreat 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 comuarison vrith any and all 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. 



r-U • n/r* J This mixture has been most carefully gi-oAra from our selected stock seed and it will afford a splen- 

 L^nOlCe IVllXed did variety of blooms of improved forms and in the -nddest possible range of desirable colors. We 



have included in this mixture many high priced, brilliant, English and American novelties. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 4 Lb. 20c; 



Lb. 50c.

r erry S OUperb mixea one separate named varieties, each the very choicest of its class. Tlais was done aft-er 



first carefully considering the desirability of color, form and freedom of blooming in our many trials of nearly two 



hundred different named" sorts. Nowhere else can one procure a moi'e magnificent mixture of finely formed and 



beautifully colored, large fiowering Sweet Peas. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; h Lb. 20c; Lb. 65c.
