We only offer the very best varieties. Those marked * are the 

 kinds best suited for Florists for cutting. 



Orchid=flowered Sweet Peas. 



This type is distinguished from the standard sorts by the extraor- 

 dinary size of their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and 

 wavy. They usually bear four blossoms on a stem, and are as easy 

 I to grow as the commonest sorts. Owing to their being shy seeders 

 they will always be higher in price than the standard sorts.
