SWEET PEAS 



There are now in commerce, including the New. Orchid-flowered type, over 250 varieties of Sweet Peas, with new sorts being added every 

 year. Many of tliis vast number are either small flowering, of weakly growth or lacking in some characteristic which a first-class variety should 

 have. Every year our list is carefully revised, with a view to keeping it strictly up-to-date ; and while it seems hard to dispense with some of 

 the once popular kinds, yet it must be done to keep up with the march of progress, and if you miss some old favorite in the list below, it has 

 been discarded in favor of a new sort of the same color. 



Every variety in our list is entitled to a place in the front rank of Sweet Peas. The new Orchid-flowered type, which was first introduced 

 a year or two ago, is rapidly coming to the front, and we offer a full list of these new aspirants for honors among lovers of Sweet Peas. 



The varieties best suited for florists' use are marked with ai 



asterisk (*).

New OrchicUflowered Sweet Peas. 



This type is distinguished from the standard sorts by the extraor-

 wavy. They usually bear four blossoms on a stem, and are as easy to
