SWEET PEAS. 



Any of the following-, per oz,, 5c, except where noted. 



Dorothy Eckford. "The grandest pure white. In addition to its pure- 

 ness it is a grand giant flower, also robust in growth and stem, with no ten- 

 dency whatever to tinge or go pink; the plant is very short jointed, and grows 

 an enormous mass of bloom." 5i lb., lOc; lb., 30c: 5 lbs.. $1.25. 



Florence Fraser. An improved Blanche Ferry. Color, pink and white; 

 flower stems 12 to 14 inches long and very stout, bearing three or four large 

 blooms. A strong vigorous grower and a free early bloomer. It surpasses 

 Blanche Ferry in vigor, flower and stem, freedom and earliness. K lb., 15c; 

 lb.. 40c. 



Flora Norton. It is a very bright blue, quite different frbm Countess of 

 Radnor and kindred varieties, being a brighter blue and clearer color. W lb.. 

 15c: lb,, 40c. 



Mrs. Geo. Higlfinson, Jr. A clear, delicate light blue, showing practi- 

 cally no tint of mauve. It is a thing our strowers have been working for for 

 years, and while it is not any larger than the old Countess of Radnor, it is a 

 particular fine shade. It is especially valuable for florists and is a decided 

 novelty, 5{ Ib.i- lSc: lb.. 40c. 



Countess Spencer Hybrids, the new Orchid-Flowering Sweet Pea. 

 The type and form of these is a complete departure from anything yet intro- 

 duced. Both the wings und standard are very large, and its graceful form, 

 together with the immense size, makes it by far the most attractive variety in 

 existence. There are five or six distinct shades contained in this mixture, but 

 all are of the large flowering type and of the same form. '/£ lb.. 15c: lb.. 50c. 



KinsT Edward VII. A true giant flowering variety, with strong stems 

 and growth, with no inclination to burn in the sun. A fine variety, much 

 brighter than either Mars or Salopian. ]4 lb., 15c; lb., 40c.
