SWEET PEA MIXTURES 



BEST GKANDIFLORA VARIETIES, MIXED 



This is our choicest mixture of Sweet Peas and cannot be surpassed in variety or richness 

 of color or size and substance of bloom. We make it ourselves and include in it not only the 25 

 varieties described on page 39 — a proved list of standard sorts, the very best in cultivation 

 today — but a number of other named varieties and also a large percentage of the popular new 

 wavy Spencer and Unwin types, thus making it thoroughly up to date. Mrs. Coryell, of Adrian, 

 Mich., says: "From one packet of our Grandifiora Sweet Peas I had a nine-foot row, and 

 though grown on very ordinary soil, I gathered on July 29 a bouquet of 1S5 stems, with 21 

 varieties. Can any one beat this record?" Pkt., TO seeds, 5c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c; I lb., 45c; 

 1 lb., $1.50. 



GIANT CALIFORNIA SWEET PEAS, MIXED 



A very choice mixture of only large-flowering types containing a large proportion of light 

 colors with enough dark for a contrast. This includes also what I have left over from my 

 choice namqd varieties. Every one knows that Sweet Pea seed retains its vitality for several 

 years, so this is practicallv as good as if all were fresh seed. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; oz., 10c; 

 J lb., 25c; i lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c. 



EARLY-FLOWERING, OR CHRISTMAS SWEET PEA 



The earliest-flowering sorts, blooming in about twelve weeks from sowing, called "Christ- 

 mas" Sweet Peas because used by florists for forcing in their greenhouses, furnishing bloom for 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas from seed sown about Sept. 1. But they are more used for early 

 spring planting and every one should have at least a short row and thus get flowers from three 

 to four weeks earlier than from the standard sorts. All who grow to sell should grow them, 

 as early blooms bring best prices. The plants begin to bloom when about a foot high and 

 never attain a height of more than 3 or 4 feet and are often grown without support.

CINNAMON VINE BULBS 



Beautiful leaves, dainty flowers, exquisite 

 perfume, grows in shade or sun, wet or dry. 

 No insects ever trouble. 



A charming climber that will quickly sur- 

 round your arbor, window or veranda with a 

 wonderful profusion of vines covered with 

 handsome, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, while 

 its clusters of delicate white flowers emit a 

 delicious fragrance. Very hardy, thriving 

 almost everywhere, though perhaps not so 

 well adapted to the extreme north. The first 

 year the vines run about 10 feet, but even- 

 tually reach a height of 25 to 40 feet. See 

 my "Culture of Flowers" for directions. Two 

 or three roots, one foot apart, on each side 

 of a door or window will quickly cover it. 

 They do best in a warm, sunny location, 

 though thriving almost anywhere. 



Extra Quality — Sure to grow. Price, 1 

 strong root, 8c; 3 roots, 20c; 12 roots, 75c; 

 all postpaid.
