FAUST'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1894. 



NEW AND BEAUTIFUL SWEET PEAS 



Few flowers can 

 compare with the 

 Sweet Fea in grace- 

 ful beauty or rival it 

 in fragrance. The 

 following new vari- 

 eties surpass a n y - 

 thing previously in- 

 troduced in size, ex- 

 quisite colors and 

 charming shades. 

 Their elegance, com- 

 bined with their de- 

 licious perfume.make 

 them valuable for 

 garden d ecoration 

 and for cut flowers. 

 The Sweet Pea makes 

 a beautiful ornamen- 

 tal hedge, if properly 

 attended to, and it 

 was always a wonder 

 to us that a thing so 

 pretty and easily 

 grown was not more 

 largely cultivated.
