SWEET PEAS 



Hardy Annual 



Sweet Peas, since the Inti-oductinn of the New (Spencer types, have 

 certainly become more popular than ever, uot only in America, nut 

 also in England and on tue Continent. People nave gone crazy over 

 sweet peas; we cannot blame tliem, tor the improvement iu this flow- 

 er the last lew years has been greater than anything kuowii lor years 

 in horticulture. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that for the 



last few years I have paid particular attention to sweet peas, and have, 

 as my customers well know, furnislied them with seed of the Spencer 

 ■types especially, that when flowering have excited the wonder and ad- 

 miration of every visitor to their garilens. My stoclt of sweet peas this 

 season amounts to several tons, so thai I feel fully prepared to meet all 

 demands made upon me, not only for Spencers but for all other tyij^s.
