The Sweet Pea is one of the most popular fiowers in cultivation and numbers among its erithusiustic admirers thousands 
of skilful cultivators. It is a free flowering climber, and considered one of the best annuals that enrich the flower garden. 
Early in spring make a trench about six inches deep, in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it, and 
plant the seed in the bottom, taking care not to cover it more than two inches. When the plants are about five inches 
high, fill up the trench, and furnish some support for the vinestorun upon. The flowers should be picked before they 
form pods, or the plants will soon stop flowering.

EXTRA EARLY BLANCHE FERRY.

IN FULL BLOOM TWO WEEKS BEFORE ANY OTHER SORT, 
OF DWARF HABIT AND FLOWERS PROFUSELY THE WHOLE SEASON. 
The flowers have the bright contrast 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. 
They are well poised on good stems and make an effective bouquet. L 
The plants are exceedingly hardy, vigorous and floriferous and at the same time very dwarf, making 
it particularly desirable for greenhouse 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 doors, needing less 
trellising than other kinds; in fact, it can be grown outside with great satisfaction without any support 
whatever. We confidently offer this splendid American variety as one sure to delight all who plant it. 
It has absolutely no rival for forcing. Price, per pkt. 5c.; 0z. 10c.; iIb., 30c.; Ib., $1.00.
