THE QUEEN OF u 
WHITE SWEET PEAS, 
A gloriously beautiful acquisition of American origin. Absolutely pure white, as clear as alabaster and as lustrous as satin. 
The flowers, of remarkable substance, are borne on long stiff peduncles, are extra large, witb broad round standards that stand up 
boldly without reflex or curl. 
The plants are robust, compact and branching, producing such a prodigal abundance of flowers, that the plants appear as if 
covered with snow. 
"~N In earliness, it outrivals all competitors by nearly 
two weeks, and continues a veritable " cut-and-come- 
again " to the end of Autumn. The fragrance is most 
delicious and distinct. 
For forcing- under glass it is particularly adapted. 
Per pkt. (about 50 seeds), 15 cts. ; per ounce (about 
300 seeds'), 50 cts.

MISS BLANCHE FERRY. 
This charming and extremely useful variety fully 
confirms all the claims we have ever made for it. Its 
dwarfness and early flowering habit make it extremely 
desirable for both out and in door planting. For freedom 
of bloom, size, and brilliancy of coloring of the flowers; 
and length of flower stems, this variety cannot be sur- 
passed. Planted in small lots or in masses in large beds, 
nothing can exceed the richness and beauty of their 
appearance, or their far reaching fragrance. Color, 
brightest pink ; wings and keel white. Per pkt., 5 cts. 
BRONZE KING. 
Amongst the numerous new varieties of Sweet Peas 
introduced of late years, there is but the "Orange 
Prince, 1 ' which has a slight resemblance in color to this 
new variety. While the flowers of the "Orange Prince" 
are of a bright rosy-orange, the standard of our " Bronze 
King " shows a perfectly distinct coppery bronze ; the 
wings are pure white. Charming variety, reproducing: 
itself true from seed. Per pkt., 35 cts.
