OUR NEW SWEET PEAS. 



SASE of culture, their sureness and prolonged profusion of bloom; beauty and exquisite fragrance have made Sweet 

 Peas preeminently the Peoples Flower. They have always been prime favorites with us, and in our NEW GUIDE for 

 1892 we first predicted that it was our belief that Sweet Peas were destined to become the popular Summer flower. 

 This prediction has been fulfilled, and their popularity extends from one end of the country to the other. We offer for 1898 

 the choicest and most distinct new varieties and the few standard sorts that we cannot do without. Prices are as low as can 

 be made, furnishing liberal packets and the best seed. Full cultural directions on each packet. Don't fail to plant a few
