Ewing's Selected Sweet Peas 
The Sweet Pea has been a favorite for a long time, 
and justly so, as no plant excels it for garden decor- 
ation, cut flowers for bouquets, vases, etc., or for 
its delicious fragrance. Besides all these superla- 
tive qualities, it is so easy of cultivation that the 
amateur can grow it just as successfully as the best 
professional gardener. 
The varieties which we offer separately, comprise 
all the best sorts in cultivation and about all that 
are truly distinct, either in color or form. It is well 
worth the trouble of all who have space enough, 
to sow Sweet Peas in separate varieties or colors, 
as, either when growing or when cut, they have 
much more pleasing and striking effect than when 
mixed.
