SWEET PEAS 



We are headquarters for all the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a 

 specialty of this grand annual. Our collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date 

 varieties have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of real merit retained. When you 

 stop to consider that there are nearly six hundred named varieties, you will doubtlessly miss some 

 old favorite that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety ; we could certainly 

 send a variety equally good. 



The Spencer or orchid-flowering types are coming strongly to the fore, but many are not yet thor- 

 oughly "set." The "Unwin's" are all good, and many grandiflora varieties are still holding their own. 



If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions. 



At the exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, held at the American Museum 

 of Natural History, New York City, July 7 and 8, 1909, we were awarded the 



C. C. MORSE CO:S SILVER CUP 



for the largest collection of Sweet Peas, number of varieties to count. Open to the trade only. 



The Arthur T. Boddington SILVER CUP, for the largest collection of Sweet Peas, was 

 won by Mr. Harry Turner, gardener to Howard Gould, Esq., Castle Gould, Port Washington, L. I. 

 Seed supplied exclusively by us. 



The W^. Altee Burpee SILVER CUP, for the finest collection of Sweet Peas, varieties to 

 count, was won by Mr. William Duckham, gardener to Mrs. D. Willis James, Madison, N. J. Seed 

 supplied exclusively by us. 



At Lake Geneva, Wis., the SILVER CUP offered by Arthur T. Boddington, at the midsummer 

 show, was won by Mr. James Livingstone, gardener to H. H. Porter. Seed supplied exclusively by us. 



At Lake Forest, 111., at the midsummer show, first prize for Sweet Peas was won by Mr. E. L. 

 Parshall, gardener to E. L. Ryerson, Esq. Seed supplied exclusively by us. 



In all of these collections, the quality of the bloom and the length and strength of stem, the 

 depth of color, and trueness to type, were all well pronounced, and the fact of their winning success 

 bears out these facts very strongly. 



For the forthcoming 1910 exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America 

 (time and place to be announced later) we take pleasure in offering
