PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. — WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.— FLOWER SEEDS. 2f 



HENDERSON'S CREAH OF THE 



fpD SWEET FE0S. 



cAll small flowering, delicate and inferior 

 sorts as ivell as renamed duplicates, 

 have been discarded. 



There are too many so-called varieties of 

 Sweet Peas— nearly two hundred— off ered to the 

 Public. Many of them are alike, or so nearly so 

 that experts can scarcely distinguish them 

 apart. So we have culled out inferior older 

 varieties that have been improved upon, the 

 newer sorts that have reverted back or are not 

 improvements, and the sorts that have been 

 offered under different names by different firms 

 which we have proved at our trial grounds to 

 be the same thing. 



If we do not offer the variety you are looking 

 for, refer to our discarded list, which tells 

 what better variety of same color to select in 

 place.
