 large and showy daisy like flowers, the petals of which

Sweet Pea — Crimson King 



This superb new variety is, we believe, the finest crimson sweet pea yet offered. The rich deep crimson color 

 is of a distinctive shade that makes it instantly noticeable. The plants are of strong vigorous growth and produce 

 abundantly a profusion of beautiful long stemmed sprays. The flowers are perfectly placed on strong, stiff stems 

 and are seemingly always properly spaced. There is no distinguishing difference in color between the standard 

 and wings and the flowers seem to be free from sunburn and wind scald. We urge you to try this splendid variety; 

 we are sure you will be delighted with it. {Se^ colored plate on opposite page, and further description, page g6) Pkt. 25g,
